      Firefox, the software mainly driven by Mozilla, which is heavily investing in AI and ads ventures? That Firefox?

      But, maybe “it will be different this time”, I guess.

        Some of their I initiatives are good, like the built-in local translation tool we now have.

          Also their initiative to recognise images and generate alt-text for screen-reader users.

          My sister is blind and screen readers are close to useless on the web, so it was great to hear Mozilla is working on that.

          That really doesn’t solve the problem, like every other Firefox fork they’re completely dependent on Firefox. You can’t just make a new webbrowser just like that, and while third party developers can certainly disable some anti-features, there are limits to that and they can definitely not do the basic work that the Firefox devs do (or could do, if Mozilla had different priorities).
