There's a massive amount of theft going on and identity theft going rampant along with lots of other shit right now. Firefox is on your side because they don't want you to get your life destroyed because some bangladeshi takes every cent you have using a deepfake photograph of you.

It's like you didn't even read the headline of the article much less the article

> Mozilla has added Google's Play Integrity API to Firefox for Android via a new `lib-integrity-googleplay` library.
> Firefox requests a Play Integrity token and sends it to Mozilla's Machine Learning Proxy (MLPA) server to verify requests for server-side AI features such as Smart Window.
> The token is used for rate limiting and to ensure AI infrastructure is only used by unmodified Firefox installations from Google Play running on certified devices.
> The change does not block Firefox from running on rooted devices, custom ROMs, or non-certified Android devices. However, some cloud-backed AI features may be unavailable if Play Integrity checks cannot be satisfied.
> The decision has drawn criticism from parts of the open-source community, particularly users of AOSP-based systems like LineageOS and GrapheneOS that often avoid Google Play Services.
> Critics argue that relying on Google's attestation system conflicts with Firefox's privacy-focused, open-source image and may indicate increasing dependence on Google's ecosystem.
> The article frames the change as part of Mozilla's broader AI strategy, alongside growing community concerns that the organization is drifting away from its traditional mission of supporting an open and independent web.

replace "cloud backed AI services" with "websites filled with ads" and you'll realize what the real goal for this is

You're talking to somebody who solved a puzzle on an anime website to copy and paste an AI summary reply because he couldn't be bothered to actually read the article.
