A lot of folks are taking this as an argument to ditch Firefox. It isn't—at least not now. Use the tool that works for you, until it doesn't. This is a warning that the AI nonsense won't stop and long-term viability is doubtful. Prepare accordingly.
Has anyone considered that maybe Fortinet is a really long-running practical joke? https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/psirt/FG-IR-25-513

We pointed a commercial-off-the-shelf satellite dish at the sky and carried out the most comprehensive public study to date of geostationary satellite communication. A shockingly large amount of sensitive traffic is being broadcast unencrypted, including critical infrastructure, internal corporate and government communications, private citizens’ voice calls and SMS, and consumer Internet traffic from in-flight wifi and mobile networks. This data can be passively observed by anyone with a few hundred dollars of consumer-grade hardware. There are thousands of geostationary satellite transponders globally, and data from a single transponder may be visible from an area as large as 40% of the surface of the earth.
I continue to be a happy @Vivaldi user, and this is a big reason why: they've committed to keeping generative AI out of the browser. https://vivaldi.com/blog/keep-exploring/
Yet another reason to stop using Chrome: Gemini is coming right into the browser, including the address bar ("Omni bar") by default. These features are computationally expensive at scale, privacy-destroying, and just plain annoying.
