You miss the point. This takes away from them actually building and maintaining a browser. If they want to do this as a plug in or something, that's fine. I do not want it and am not interested in anything AI related being built into the browser. Its that toxic, VC mindset around everything having to be everything and following the hype of the moment. Its dumb and the announcement was a redflag warning.
Why should it be relegated to a plug-in? It is a feature everyone would find useful because no-one speaks every language. Also, since Chrome has this feature, new users would expect to have it work without having to research which plug-in to use.
You might not want to use it, but some people don't use Firefox bookmarks and you don't hear them demanding that bookmarks be moved to a plug-in. It's been a very long time since a browser was solely an HTML renderer, and while people were also against CSS and scripting at first, we've moved on.
"AI" has been used for many things for many years. The fact that the news is full of machine learning and generative AI doesn't mean that it's sensible to condemn anything using it.
Maybe you should move onto Edge. I hear they are big on AI in the browser.
