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
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
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. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
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.
No thank you, I'd rather not.
Enshittification, here we come
I hate options too!
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. :-)
