“Have some imgflip.comlf-respect!”

No one’s against a feature being opt-out unless they actively dislike that feature. You’re not going to make a post about the context menu items you don’t use unless you have some political opposition against them.

Nobody complains about the ¤ key on their phone’s English QWERTY keyboard, or the “generate QR code from tab” feature in Firefox that I’m sure you’ve never used. Neither of these features is opt-in, and yet you’re content with them. It’s because you don’t have any political opinions about the features themselves. You don’t actually care about opt-out when the feature doesn’t bother you.

Most features in most software are either opt-out or unremovable, though. It’s clearly not about that to you, it’s about the association with AI

This is just my opinion, but I think it’s reasonable to require your user to go to the settings if they want to remove a context menu item.

In fact, I think they’re going above and beyond here. Most people never use “Inspect Accessibility Properties”, yet they added it here with no option to remove it, and yet no one’s complaining.

I think the cause of this outrage is people reading too much into Firefox’s AI features. Firefox doesn’t bundle an LLM or make requests without your permission. It doesn’t put AI overviews on your pages. It didn’t remove existing functionality to make room for the new buttons. And it doesn’t shove any of the features into your face. It’s just a context menu item that opens a website in the sidebar if you choose to click on it.

This just gave me the idea to back up my laptop’s flash chip… just in case…

That will just kill the battery faster, so you will have to replace it sooner

Guess where AI learned that? From humans. Particularly LinkedIn and Twitter. And this is a Twitter post.

Imagine how he must feel

If you’re still thinking in pixels, then you’re already behind JPEG. There are other ways to compress visual data, such as in the form of its frequency spectrum, or with vector embeddings

It is in games with screen-space reflections

Happy cake day!
