The poll is over, and the result is clear:

#FireFox users have very little interest for Chatbot integration into their browser.

I am very much aware that the people, who voted in this poll are hardly a representative sample, but more than 2.4K people is a better size than many "professional" opinion polls.

@mozilla & @firefox should take people, who actually care about their #browser choice, seriously.

I still seriously believe that #Mozilla's fate matters,

Would you rather have a AI or have your browser 2x slower?

That is the kind questions that were asked

Is this the official Mozilla connect survey? I believe the question order and groupings were randomized, and that may have been a (IMO bad) control question.

No that was a different poll. This one asked "do you want 'enhanced privacy' or a chatbot in the sidebar" which, of course, is a false dichotomy.

lol. I'd take a browser that's 10x slower as long as it has no AI or crypto.

Yeah but in that situation wouldn't you just not use the AI?

I think this is more about wasting development times and what features are actually in the browser.

I like having TLS in my browser
