Leveraged for anything from buying a plane ticket to large scale business decisions, Agentic AI holds the promise of adapting to a wide variety of applications to improve users’ productivity and effectiveness.

These AI agents are so successful that their value is still completely abstract and speculative, with no specific use cases in sight. Just imagine the possibilities yourself, because we sure can't.

There are web clipping tools - even open source ones - to help you with stuff like this.

Based on your other comments here, you should probably start organizing your tabs before your browser simply crashes.

Personally, I don't believe that people should be banished from discussing things unless they agree with them already. Otherwise, there's nothing to discuss. But if you don't like it when people speak disagreeably about things, are you not contributing to that exact same environment?

It's also unfair to assume that anyone who does not love everything about [product] automatically is a hater of [product]. I haven't seen any communities devoted to only praising Firefox, but you could certainly make one of your own.

They're already going that direction. Mozilla needs a change of heart, not just a change of income

I wondered why this was downvoted before I saw the original message in my notifications

yeah, thanks Mr/Ms obvious, you described exactly the reason of why it does not look vanilla at all, that big giant bottom ad banner

Anyway, my point is that I would assume Firefox would look different if there was evidence the user caused this banner by accidentally injecting malware into the browser within Linux.

Text fragment linking already works in the latest version of Firefox, although you'll need to install an extension like this one to create links.

What are the chances Mozilla will actually open source the deepfake text detector, which is literally the only part of the entire Fakespot portfolio that might be worth preserving?

ETA: here's FakeSpot failing spectacularly to identify an AI-generated book with phony, AI-generated reviews.

PieFed has a way to keep votes (more) private. From 11 months ago:

There was a widely held belief that votes should be private yet it was repeatedly pointed out that a quick visit to an Mbin instance was enough to see all the upvotes and that Lemmy admins already have a quick and easy UI for upvotes and downvotes (with predictable results).

Vote privacy may be especially important because it's really easy for a malicious server to get set up, unbeknownst to anybody else, and just pull vote data that other servers freely provide.

This narrows the possibilities down to ~~three~~ four interesting options.

1. Mozilla did this, and you're the first person to talk about it online
2. Your OS did this, and you're the first person to talk about it online
3. A protected browser page got hijacked by malware on Linux
4. You did this and forgot, somehow

Some other comments have been annoyingly dismissive, but I hope you push onward to figure out what the hell this is. Because if it's one of the first two, it's a big deal.

What part of it doesn't? Besides the massive banner added the bottom of the screen, everything looks like it's the default. That icon in the top-left corner comes preinstalled. The search engine is still the default. The only customization I see here is an extra theme and a couple of add-ons.

This is something new. What's under the 3-dot menu? And to cover our bases, can you look through your browsing history to determine where this copy of Firefox came from?
