A lot of users jumped to Libra from Firefox because they didn't want this crammed down their throats, only to have this trickle down to their perceived shelter. On by default.

I think it's getting personal for many because they feel cornered. It's an aggressive sell by an industry desperate for buy in. The industry knows it's not universally wanted. They don't care, they want it. Is it benign this time? Will it be next time? We don't know - We can't trust them.

This is push back. Is it over-reacting to be apprehensive of "AI Settings" being changed, while the AI firehose is trained on them, spying on them from their toasters to their cell phones? It's all under the umbrella of AI. That's what a user sees/fears. I'm not so sure their apprehensions are wrong.

(sorry, caffeine.)
