Their new CEO is wanting far far more than some opt-in options, did you buy see the announcement that it's becoming an AI browser.
That doesn't mean optional. That means they want it to be the whole point
Frankly, people are assuming a lot from just the words "AI browser", which could mean a browser that is all AI, sure, but could equally be a browser that, say, just uses AI to generate missing alt-text.
I think there's a lot of people who just object to the concept of AI generally - a valid stance - who then assume that anything that uses it must be trying to take away their options to not use it. Which is a valid complaint if that actually happens, but I see no real evidence that is happening here.
In fact, those who actually read the blog post they're panicking over would see that right before saying that in the blog post, he explicitly says:
Sounds pretty optional to me
Again, for now, seems like the CEO is gung-ho to go all-in on this shit
What makes it "seem" that is the case?
Their words and actions
