TL;DR: Mozilla has a new CEO and a new mission: transform Firefox into an AI browser. That has run into some snags, as Firefox users don’t seem that interested in AI.

You can see this in the introduction of Link Previews, an extremely invasive anti-feature that exists solely to push AI into your experience.
