Perplexity AI Search in Firefox
On desktop, Firefox now includes Perplexity, an AI-powered answer engine built into the browser. Perplexity delivers direct, conversational answers to complex questions, helping you get quick summaries, accurate references, or creative inspiration without digging through multiple sources. It’s rolling out worldwide from the address bar via the unified search button.
Again I must go into my 100+ line firefox configuration and remove this shit.
Yeah this fucking sucks obviously but I kinda get Mozilla, they're really stuck between a rock and a hard place in this capitalist economy. On one hand you actually want to deliver a good open source project that's more or less privacy and user-control focused but on the other hand you have to sell your soul to the capitalist overlords if you want to support the development.
I fucking hate it but I'd imagine most Firefox developers hate it too yet they push on.
I wish I could believe this but if you look at their CEO salaries and corporate structure.... Yeesh I guess hard place in capitalism is right.
