Share your feedback on the AI services experiment in Nightly

[asafko]

Hi folks, 

In the next few days, we will start the Nightly experiment which provides easy access to AI services from the sidebar. This functionality is entirely optional, and it’s there to see if it’s a helpful addition to Firefox. It is not built into any core functionality and needs to be turned on by you to see it. 

If you want to try the experiment, activate it via Nightly Settings > Firefox Labs (please see full instructions here). 

We’d love to hear your feedback once you try out the feature, and we’re open to all your ideas and thoughts, whether it’s small tweaks to the current experience or big, creative suggestions that could boost your productivity and make accessing your favorite tools and services in Firefox even easier.

Thanks so much for helping us improve Firefox!

If I wanted more AI features I'd just use one of the other, dozens of worse browsers out there, lol.

Add Duck.AI to the options. I am using Duck.AI, and for summarisation in the sidebar, I have to use ChatGPT. I have no problem with ChatGPT; it's just that I am using Duck.AI for one purpose and ChatGPT for another.
I did find a extension that adds Duck.AI to the side bar, but it doesn’t work for highlighting and summarise, no right click option.

Quit adding AI features to Firefox. The people who use your browser are the kind of people to be vehemently AI, and pandering to the general audience is going to lose you usage percentage, not gain it. If you feel like you must, make all AI features opt in or at very least provide a readily-available build without any of the AI features.

You're supporting the harm to the environment, violation of copyright law, and degradation of information. You are smart people, you should know better.

Used Firefox my entire life. I am looking into new browsers because of this recent AI crap. Get rid of it.

[veilune]

I use this browser and recommend it to everyone specifically because they have not integrated AI into it. Simple as. Add AI, lose users.

You aren't going to GAIN more users for adding AI, the people who want AI already use the browsers that have it lol.

[hulludragon]

Do not add this. Simply do not. the fact there is NO AI on firefox is the reason we use it?? if you add AI, you loose the trust of your userbase, or the userbase overall. What reason is there to use firefox over chrome then??

[farmerzeke]

NO AI IN MY FIREFOX!!!

I used firefox to get away from this, I hate it!!!!!!

[rasppberry11231]

you know your users do not want this. we know that you know this. there is only 1 answer that is obvious to every single person after this decision: you do not care a single bit about the opinions of your users, you will never regain their trust. uninstalling and switching to a fork. goodbye.

This destroys any reason to use this browser over the many other data stealers....

My feedback is AI sucks and I hate it. If you integrate AI into Firefox in I WILL ABSOLUTELY change browser, no word of exaggeration. I've been a customer of yours for years and the main reason is that in a world of rampant scumbaggery from the tech industry, Firefox was a rare example of a company with principles. If you're abandoning those, I'm abandoning you. I'm sick and tired of having to constantly bear the burden of degrading services in the name of someone scraping my data for profits. It is exploitative, it is dehumanizing and frankly, all of these AI corpos should properly pay for the labor they exploit when they scalp users to train their slop hallucination engines.

[Sakki]

Don't do this.

No more AI.

Get rid of this CEO already.

[BalooUriza]

Fire your CEO and replace them with a long-time code contributor that actually understands what a web browser should be.

Hello, I know y'all are just employees so no hate here, but I do hope this overwhelming amount of user feedback convinces whoever's making decisions that forcing AI into Firefox isn't the way to go. Frankly if all tech CEOs could get over their FOMO and jump off the AI bubble bandwagon that'd be great. Cheers, I'll be using a fork in the meantime.
