Does any software have a survey for what users want? Instead of immediately pushing AI, they should have pushed a survey where AI was one of the choices/questions.




if they do that there's a risk of getting an answer they don't want

Showing a pop-up to a survey honestly seems more annoying than an unobtrusive “open LLM sidebar” context menu switch.

Firefox also collects usage data if individual features (which can also be disabled), so they’ll learn about the adoption soon enough.


It is either a fork or new software based on what a people really want or need. This is not an easy hill to climb.

Unfortunately, "configuration" is the survey. I detest both configuration and surveys. Modify the open source code and rip out the Artificial Inference code because Firefox is open source, or build software from scratch: servo, ladybird, your own web browser based on a survey.
