I hope to see the day when (or if) the LLMs get so good at spotting and fixing bugs that all that’s left for the Firefox engineers to do is to focus on adding new features.
This isn’t sarcasm. Firefox deserves to be used more. Most people I know don’t use it because “Chrome does almost everything better”, and Firefox can’t compete with the other browsers’ roadmaps.
Totally agree. I even go as far as choosing which website I make purchases on depending if they work on FF, or writing to support occasionally to tell them it's not supported or a feature isn't working properly and this would be appreciated.
I know it pretty much always goes nowhere, but I feel it's what I can do to keep the browser somehow on the radar.
I just hope they don't start ignoring human created bug reports, as there are still many that haven't been fixed for years.
