Mozilla using their limited funding to improve the last libre and independent web browser instead of the most useless and overdone ai hipster shit in existence challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) (FAILED)

The problem is that all their money comes from Google and that's a very poor position for them to be in. If they want to be independent and not at the mercy of Google, they need to find other means of funding.

Not a fan of the AI stuff but if it can loosen Google's grip on Mozilla, I'm all for it

I mean AI is going to happen regardless; I'd rather Mozilla ensures that it's ethical, consumer friendly, and private when it does
