As Firefox will introduce Manifest V3 which will make ad-blockers unusable, I hope they will not implement that as well ... But since this is so new, this will not have any add-ons at all for the foreseeable future

Windows 11: Add advertisement to the start menu, add remote Artificial intelligence to your daily live. Require new CPUs and motherboards / hardware, ignoring the market for old computers.
What will they do next?
- More advertisement.
- More features that require an always on internet connection?
- Forced restart for software updates
This is why I expect Linux share to slowly increase until the old computers die and you will not be allowed to choose to boot another operating system besides Windows on your Microsoft-Copilot+ PC that would be your only option.

What age would that be? The time around 2014? 2010? 1990?
Text Generating AI makes mistakes when I ask it questions that I can verify the answer to. This is why I am here... Maybe I will post some of the stupid (and funny) mistakes it makes (GPT-4 & Google Bard (Gemini) & LLAMA tested)
is there a human behind such decisions or is it just an automated algorithm?
Lets hope they stay true to their words and do not deprecate
Manifest V2
later, since firefox is an open source project, theoretically anyone could fork it and build this on their own, but I heard compile-times for firefox is long. And as complexity of the web increases maintaining your own forked web browser will become harder and harder. That is why projects like Ladybird are important imo.As more and more webpages do not support firefox anymore (Notion did not work for me today) the web will become unusable in a dystopian Manifest-V3 only future.
