The poll is over, and the result is clear:

#FireFox users have very little interest for Chatbot integration into their browser.

I am very much aware that the people, who voted in this poll are hardly a representative sample, but more than 2.4K people is a better size than many “professional” opinion polls.

@mozilla & @firefox should take people, who actually care about their #browser choice, seriously.

I still seriously believe that #Mozilla’s fate matters,

    If I want to use a chatbot, I’ll access a website that provides one.
    My browser is supposed to be a program that lets me access the internet, and nothing else.

      Or I’ll have one installed as a separate app, which will have access to data on my system.

      So either it’s a separate app, or it’s a website. I don’t see a need for my browser to be that app.

        And if I really really really wanted one in my browser (which I don’t but for the sake of argument) I’ll look for an add-on.

        Same reason I don’t want my browser to filter or ban my content but I totally use unlock origin.

    Eventhough I am not pro chatbot, such a poll is unfortunately completely worthless. Only random samples (or at least representative ones) allow to say something about a group.

    If we go into an AI fanboy forum and ask the same question, we may find 3000 people saying the exact opposite. It just means nothing whatsoever.

    Okay someone has to say it.

    The second F in Firefox is NOT capitalized.

    Asking mastodon users whether they’d choose AI over Privacy is like asking Elon Musk if he’d rather end poverty or buy another mega yacht.

    A representative 300 sample would give a more accurate result than a biased 2.4k sample. Bigger number doesn’t mean better results.

    That said, I’m not sure how to get representation from certain subgroups of the population, like the “never engages with polls” or “lies specifically to fuck with your data” subgroups.
