It does not mean Firefox can no longer be installed or run on non-certified or rooted Android devices, but it might mean that users on non-certified or rooted devices can’t access all AI features in Firefox for Android.

Important note

Oh no! Not the AI features!

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 month ago

Sooo... If I root my phone I don't have to deal with AI in Firefox?

[-] sudo@lemmy.today 11 points 1 month ago

Or you could... Press the disable AI button... The one Firefox added shortly after users pushed back on the added AI 'features'...

[-] Darkenfolk@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 month ago

You mean the button that shouldn't even need to exist? That button?

The button added to disable something I didn't ask for, need or even wanted in the first place? You mean that button?

What a novel idea...

I despise most things about AI but people should be allowed to have the choice to use it if they want lol.

I do think it should be disabled by default / opt-in, but you're dumb if you think that "it just shouldn't exist!"

I am all for people having a choice, but a minority should not be bend over backwards for.

If they want ai in their browser there are several others that do have the option. Hell, they can just fork firefox and add ai that way.

Or you could install IronFox

Nobody wants that garbage anyway so no big loss.

[-] scott@lem.free.as 14 points 1 month ago

Oh no! ... Anyway...

[-] 87Six@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

I don't trust that. If they're implementing it for AI only now, they will likely let it seep into other areas of Firefox later

Wait what, this sounds like a win..?
