@TrickDacy I think people use this phrase to say that even if something isn’t perfect, it’s better than before - that is coming from my reading of the phrase on Wikipedia: “The phrase suggests that achieving absolute perfection may be impossible, and that the pursuit of perfection should not prevent someone from recognizing or completing work that is imperfect yet still valuable.”
@TrickDacy In the case of AI, we are going from a good place to a worse one.
If the AI in Firefox is “the good”, what is the “perfect”? More AI?
Maybe we need to agree that there is a version of Firefox with AI that is perfect before we can then agree that the implementation isn’t perfect (but is good).
uh, what? The good is firefox today, the perfect would be some non existent browser which is fully open source and has no ethical or associative concerns whatsoever.
No one said anything about AI but you, and I’ve no idea why you brought it up. Not really looking to debate whether or not FF is perfect as that’s a pretty ludicrous idea that I clearly never believed or articulated. The entire point I was making is that it’s not perfect but it’s better than chrome, ethically.

If you don’t agree, I guess we can start there.

@TrickDacy Sorry, I missed the context here and my comment didn’t make much sense.
Removing the dumb comments and sorry for wasting your time.
