The AIs now have more information about your credentials, where you're spending your time, where you're spending your money.

And we know that people are worried about that.

60% of people in the US are really worried about privacy with AI, and the other 40% probably should be as well.

And so I think to be successful in this space, people are going to have to go back to those values that Mozilla and Firefox are really built on, which is around privacy and choice and control over your experience and your data.

It's always challenging to be a smaller company.

The big tech companies consolidate a lot of power.

They lock you in.

They have vertical integration.

But it's something that is incredibly important to do.

The internet, if left to its own devices, would always trend to being closed, to being expensive.

and to just have a few players.

And that's why it's important to have open source solutions.

It's important for alternatives for Firefox, like Firefox, to be there.

We have our own browser engine called Gecko.

There are only three browser engines left.

Microsoft and Opera, everyone else moved over to Chromium.

It's expensive to run a browser engine.

I know why they did it, but we think it's incredibly important to invest in options like that because very quickly otherwise you end up in a very, very sort of monopolistic world, which is bad for the health of the internet and it's bad for the users of the internet.

Yeah, at Firefox, we always adapt to where users are going and what they need.

And not all of our users want AI.
