PSA (?): just got this popup in Firefox when i was on an amazon product page. looked into it a bit because it seemed weird and it turns out if you click the big "yes, try it" button, you agree to mandatory binding arbitration with Fakespot and you waive your right to bring a class action lawsuit against them. this is awesome thank you so much mozilla very cool

So, Mozilla adds an AI review features for products you view using Firefox. Other than being very useless, it's T&C are as anti-consumer as it possibly can be. It's like mozilla saying directly "we don't care about your privacy".

I've used Firefox since it was released. I will be considering other browsers due to this. I do not want AI in my products.

Librewolf and Floorp are good Firefox based alternative browsers.

Floorp

Thanks, these look interesting. I've been using Firefox forever for my personal browsing (but Edge for work) and I'd prefer to stay with it if I can.

What other browsers? Firefox was the last good one.

[–] puppy@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Since Firefox is free and open source, there are many other variations of it built and distributed by the community.

I don't think AI is what's wrong here...

Different priorities for different people. The AI is what I really have an issue with right now. I'm sick of it being shoved down everyone's throats, and I have big ethical concerns about it in general.
