Some thoughts about Mozilla's decision to build AI features into the Firefox web browser.
I believe that it's really important to support and use Firefox. Not only do I think that Mozilla understand/support user's privacy more than Google, but I also think it's important for the health of the web that more than one option exists when it comes to rendering engines. Also, it's a really good web browser.

I'm seeing some backlash aimed at Mozilla in regards to their new Ad Tech feature in Firefox. I think it's probably justified. I also think it was definitely to be expected; Firefox has a tiny share of the browser market and I would imagine most its users are technical and probably loyal. It's not hard to imagine how they might feel when their favourite browser starts to disrespect their privacy. Not sure what is happening at Mozilla lately. It's disappointing.
Taking a look at Thunderbird mail client. It's been a good few years since I've used Thunderbird and I'm loving the look and feel of Supernova. I can see me using this as my default mail client again.
Using Mozilla's web-ext tool to lint and package a browser extension for Firefox that was originally written for Chrome. Just needed to make a single modification to the manifest file and everything just worked. Nice.
The Big Three may effectively be down to a Big Two, and right quick.
