Seeing lots of discussion around Firefox marketshare, would be interested to hear what features / functionality people thought Firefox could implement that would make a big impact? #firefox

@dale Don't know.All the things I want personally are not the same that would make the browser mainstream.

@dale It's ridiculous that Firefox still doesn't support passkeys. If I wasn't so concerned about Chrome privacy, the lack of passkey support in Firefox would be the tipping point for me to dump it.

@dangoodin @dale I always see this push for passkeys but I still don't get how this actually is good for an end user? Like what happens if you loose/break your device? Or is it really just "login with your Google account" in disguise and you can restore it by logging back into your Google account with a normal password?

@the_moep @dale Passkeys sync across all your devices using E2E. It seems the risk of losing your password is about as likely as losing all your devices.Full disclosure: I'm a big proponent of passkeys.

@dale Number one: fix the bug that means after a week or two it suddently starts using a ton of CPU and has to be shut down. It is BY FAR my biggest problem with Firefox.Number two: stop talking about integrating "AI" features. NO-ONE WANTS THIS.

@mike @dale I love Firefox Translate and welcome other local and private AI features if they're useful.

@jgoerzen @mike @dale This is the tricky thing about these AI arguments: AI is a significantly broader & older field then the recent "generative AI" hype every sizeable tech company are rushing to adopt. Too often when those of us sick of this speak up, this confusion over a technically-fuzzy distinction frequently rears its head.Maybe put it this way: Please Mozilla no chatbots! No insisting there's demand!But yes: Features matter, not the tech behind them. Too many techies forget this!
