If other people want something else than a web browser that's fine by me, but then I will at least not be interested any more.
Thankfully Gnome Web is quickly maturing.
Firefox already has Pocket, offline translation, password manager in it (and other stuff too I bet). Someone could say those are just tools assisting in web browsing but that's what AI is/can be too.
Sure, there are possibilities, I'm just very sceptical of the browser itself being the producer of the content I consume. Sometimes translation is necessary of course, so it's not a rule set in stone.
I agree with you accessibility could be one field where it could be very useful. If this is the priority, I think Mozilla should say they prioritize accessibility, not that they prioritize AI. Machine learning can be a useful tool towards certain ends, but it con never be an end in its own right.
