TL;DR: Mozilla is killing localization on Support Mozilla, overwriting articles written by humans with machine generated translations. Although Mozilla knows that their AI doesn’t localize or adhere to style guides, Mozilla is going live with it anyway. I thank locale leaders and localizers for their tireless efforts. Locale leaders seem to be obviated by AI, and Mozilla has nothing to say about it.

As time goes ever onward, I find myself increasingly in the position of using Firefox solely because it isn’t Chromium, rather than because of any inherent good quality.
Which is not to say that Firefox isn’t still at least fine as a browser. But this is what Mozilla is now, and if there’s anything the leaders of that organization are doing, it is that they are committing corporate suicide because none of those idiots know what the hell they are doing. Firefox can’t stay decent with people like them at the helm.
I swear, getting a business major should be considered self-harm.

Not sure that will save you. Easier to make a browser with a fork than just a library.

I think Firefox is still (among) the best option(s) and I have no plans to switch, but their AI pivot definitely has me concerned.
