on one hand, fuck Mozilla’s enshitifiation.
on the other hand, this is a pro for custom ROM users. you get the AI automatically stripped out.
Google needs to fuck off.
The token is used to access Firefox’s server-side AI tools, like Smart Window, for rate-limiting purposes, ensuring only unmodified, Play-installed copies of Firefox on Google-certified devices use Mozilla’s1 compute infra.
That’s… alright, that seems not unreasonable. Am I misunderstanding this?
I already disable all of the AI shitware on firefox, so this is a non-issue for me.
So those of us without Google’s spyware can’t use Mozilla’s AI crap? Lovely.
If only that one service had access to the API then I wouldn’t care much, but it sounds like any website can now check if my phone is rooted and deny me access.
I’m someone who did not install mine via the play store, which sounds like means I don’t have access.
Luckily I don’t need it, but they just bifurcated their user base
I use the Fennec fork, from F-Droid.
TIL, I’ll check it out
There is also ironfox https://github.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox if you scan the qr code it will add the repository to your f-droid app.
