Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Is the feature request page an astroturfing campaign or is there really such a pathetic crowd within Firefox's userbase?

Firefox could've added Mistral or Deepseek and they could've made money charging for zero-data-retention inference on Mozilla's servers. But no, they would rather to do free work for a marketing company (that's what Perplexity is - they're not even an "AI" company - their best products are finetunes of Meta's and Deepseek's open-weight models and these finetunes are somehow stupider than the originals).

I have no problem with this, some people seem to like it, and it's completely optional and easy to remove.

Don't need it. Just need a good, unbiased search engine, kind of like what google was at first... But I like that you listen to your users. :-)
