WTF #Firefox ??

WTF #Firefox ?? Who told you to change my default search engine? And for some #genAI slop machine when it was originally "NO AI Duck-Duck go"?!? Pretty clear that I DO NOT WANT AI

#Perplexity ? Yes, I am Perplexed that you would decide to impose this on me, I was already on the verge of quitting but I guess this will have to be the last straw.

Is it possible to get one's donations back?

Clearly I am not the only one having this problem:

"You've told us you want an AI search partner" ... yet only 89 people voted. I hope that's not the entirety of Firefox's user base.

Indeed, like @aud pointed out there are other posts with a lot more upvotes against AI in Firefox:
