Thanks everyone for your active participation here. We knew this would have a lot of interest and so we’ve waited to dive into the conversation because we see some themes emerging that I’ll respond to broadly here. The main concerns I’m noting are around the license agreements we declare, our use of data for AI, and our Acceptable Use Policy. Below are a few clarifications to each of these areas.

Because they said multiple times they don't plan on making it a default. From the very beginning Mozilla announced their AI extensions will not be forced on people. I don't understand the "but what if they do" comments. "What if elon musk bought firefox?!??! It could happen!"

Also said "we will never share your data" and now they've removed that from the terms. I assume you're aware that they just had a change in leadership? These decisions come from whichever is in charge. New leadership might still agree enough with it to not change it, but what about the person after, or the one after that? As they say "never is a very long time".

I'm also not saying it will definitely happen, but my confidence in it not happening is now low enough that I switched to LibreWolf.
