Mozilla is introducing Google Lens-powered visual search to Firefox desktop, enabling users to right-click images for contextual searches in an opt-in feature that prioritizes privacy. This partnership aims to boost engagement amid AI-driven browser innovations, though it raises questions about Google dependency and competitive dynamics. The phased rollout invites community feedback.
At least it is opt in and not opt out like other Mozilla bullshit they have added.
Hard fucking pass, thanks
It used to be Mozilla would try to engineer their own open source and privacy-respecting alternative for web infrastructure stuff like this.
What happened to Mozilla, man?
Capitalism
Decades of shit code made browser development so difficult and expensive that Mozilla is dependent on Google’s teat to stay afloat.
Zen browser is fantastic IMO. Zen is built on Firefox with lots of nice tweaks and changes to make it feel innovative.
Glad there are plenty of forks that will eliminate this shit
Uuuugh. No.
I need a doggie please and a cowgirl but in reverse. And I’m getting hungry for some spitroast. Oh Firefox do you think you could help?
I want Google lens off my phone.
Its since Laura Chambers is CEO mozilla is going down.
