Mozilla recently rolled out a new on-device AI feature in Firefox, but it's already drawing complaints from users reporting high CPU usage and faster battery drain.

        I really don’t get it either.

        It’s not like it’s a paid product either.

        A lot of people would rather sit around and tear down the progress being made around them for being imperfect, than pitch in to help change things for the better.

        Because they keep betraying their supposed values for short-term gains.

          What is the gain? What is a single gain you think they have milked from their users?

              But nobody pays for Firefox? Do you mean the “recommended pages”? Because yeah that is a revenue source I guess, but as long as I can turn it off I can let it slide
