What a sad day to be alive. I want to believe nothing bad will happen but this is scary

I've been trying Arc browser that has a bunch of AI shoved in it and.... It's actually kinda nice. I think Firefox COULD possibly not fuck this up. Before you down vote me, I too believe that Firefox would be better off focusing on the core browser experience. And I really hope they have a good solution to AI being all cloud based right now. Like having a lightweight local model. This is why I was glad Arc was trying it, not Firefox.

I agree, AI can be good for a browser, which is why I still have some hope. We just have to wait and see
