“AI should always be a choice—something people can easily turn off." “It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.”

How does he not get how contradictory these positions sound. Really a missed opportunity to brand themselves as the browser without AI bullshit and gain users who want to get away from that crap. Sure, they promise it'll have an off switch, but even if that's true, they're still wasting a lot of their very limited budget pursuing it. Really shows where their priorities are.

    Also, it's already not true. You can turn AI off, but not in the regular settings - you need to enter about:config and search for "browser.ml". Anything that's only available in about:config is not "easy" for the average user, and "browser.ml" isn't exactly an intuitive name, either.
