Mozilla says Firefox will evolve into an AI browser, and nobody is happy about it — "I've never seen a company so astoundingly out of touch"

Mozilla has announced its new CEO, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, and has today confirmed that under his leadership, Firefox will evolve into an AI browser over the next three years. The good news? Mozilla understands that AI should be a choice, and will allow users to turn it off.

"Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable," says Enzor-Demeo. "Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off ... Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions."
