Honestly if it prefilled something like that that would already be an improvement, at least to create temporary ones (though in practice, they're probably never temporary).

Oh speed is definitely going to be the make-it-or-break it here. I do usually know the name without thinking, but it's having to type it (and preferably without typos) that's the effort that would be nice to save.

It feels really stupid, because it's really not that much effort. But I know myself - I also really like contactless payments, even though it really wasn't that much effort to insert my card and type in my PIN. Yet it's a small convenience for something that I do with some regularity. I imagine the same for this feature.

Yeah but I don't think anyone was referring to Israel's actions as the US doing "preventative bombing"?

I can see people not necessarily wanting suggestions for tab group names, but... The rest of the list is translations and alt text suggestions for images added to PDFs. The most uncontroversial AI features if ever there were any.

I really don't care for this urge to advertise "AI" everywhere. I also don't care much for the knee-jerk reaction just because someone calls something AI.

Well, people were at least asking for translations all the time.

TBF, I love my tab groups, and honestly having to come up with and type out a name for each of them is the biggest hurdle. It's a small thing, but I can imagine myself using tab groups even more because of it.

So far I don't think the US strikes specifically on Iran are known to have killed or even wounded anyone, let alone civilians, nor hit hospitals or schools, right?

Yeah, quite a bit, especially compared to the rest of the industry. The reason is a) because that Corporation is owned by a non-profit, i.e. it has no shareholders that want to squeeze users for every penny, and b) there's a solid track record, and lots of passionate employees and contributors.

Add to that that the belief that the only thing that will come from Mozilla's demise, is even more power to Google, Microsoft and Apple, and yeah... I'm hesitant to immediately go for the worst-faith interpretations of every action. Unfortunately most of the Fediverse appears to think differently.

That kinda works, but it's just that I've also been on the other side of this. Like, just now I read this, and it just makes me sad.

Me not jumping on the bandwagon doesn't make it better. But I'm hoping for a movement to dissuade others from doing so.

And also, I know the lure of being outraged about everything, and I'm sure that among everyone who thinks they are interested in it, there are plenty who would actually be better off not getting wound up about it. (But yes, that's probably not you.)

I guess, but it's just so tiring to keep getting collectively outraged about every little thing. And sometimes it does have the opposite effect, i.e. it doesn't necessarily work.

(Although I don't think you could stir up an effective outrage campaign that would result in StartPage getting added, but I'll concede the larger point that Connect posts aren't automatically added to the TODO list.)

If you imagine that the referenced bug was present in the first place, then you'll end up at a pretty good place: slightly bummed that you can't both try out Labs features before they graduate and disable telemetry, but understanding that it's a technical limitation.

Ah, but that's for the things of which I remember later than I need them. Tabs are for the things I need later, except that I've later forgotten that I need them. Very important, obviously.
