I’d say too fucking late. Those who have had problems have already left. And the rest can’t, for whatever reason. So walking back won’t bring those who left back. Or even if some do come back, they’ll leave on the first sign of shenanigans, cause now they know they have a choice and that it is doable.

Interesting experiment. But same idea as a tremolo bridge, but instead of springs in tension, he uses a magnet. An improvement could be the same - instead od directly pulling, he could try the hinge/lever setup like in a tremolo. Could also use mechanical advantage to make use of smaller magnets. An additional benefit is improved safety. But you would just reinvent the tremolo, only make it more expensive. Already, this sounds more or less like a floating style tremolo, but with additional floating. And increased price. And safety concerns.

Translation is already a part of Firefox and I don’t see too many have complained about this. It is also completely offline, AFAIK. What people are afraid, myself included is agentic AI capable of autonomous web browsing. That is a privacy and security nightmare, as is already demonstrated by openai’s browser, which was exploited the first day it was launched. Beyond translation, I personally am not interested in any other AI features. In fact, I don’t use the translation feature more than a few times a year.

No, it’s not. 1. Nobody wanted AI as a feature. 2. They didn’t even completely backpedal, that would be not implementing AI. This sounds like it will be opt out maybe. They may remove it if they feel like it.
