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.
Upvoting for awareness, not because I’m happy about it
Hard fucking pass, thanks
At least it is opt in and not opt out like other Mozilla bullshit they have added.
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.
We just have to wait for Ladybird
Uuuugh. No.
Glad there are plenty of forks that will eliminate this shit
Zen browser is fantastic IMO. Zen is built on Firefox with lots of nice tweaks and changes to make it feel innovative.
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.
