I'm not particularly horrified about the availability of AI features, but I'd rather see Mozilla focus most of its resources on core competencies. Firefox lags behind Chrome in web standards feature support, e.g. the browser scores on https://caniuse.com/. It's also prone to making my laptop fan spin more than Chromium browser do, and people often complain about speed.

They should make the core browser better, and maybe task a couple developers to build some LLM support as an extension.
