    Am engineer. Know zero professional people in the engineering community who use AI browsers, and very few who even touch AI for anything aside from docs or stats.

    In my personal life I know zero people who use these browsers. I think this is just panic from the higher ups at Mozilla who have no idea what in the fuck the company should be doing or is about, even.

    Start making tools to give to people to combat this bullshit from the EU. Build a USABLE and decentralized chat app that people can actually use FFS. Build something like Proton and ACTUALLY BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT.

    Others have eaten your lunch because of this exact thing. Do better.

      I feel stupid for asking but what is an AI agentic browser even supposed to do? Search things based on your query? Well search bars have been a thing since forever. 🤷

      The main use for AI that I’ve seen in my circles is a search engine replacement. Not because AI is a good search engine, but because search engines have largely become useless.

      If Mozilla wants to cement their place, create a better search engine. It’s how Google came to control a huge portion of the internet, and there’s now a huge vacuum waiting for someone to replace what we lost.
