We recently shared how we are approaching AI in Firefox — with user choice and openness as our guiding principles. That’s because we believe AI should be built like the internet — open, accessible, and driven by choice — so that users and the developers helping to build it can use it as they wish, help shape it and truly benefit from it.
In Firefox, you’ll never be locked into one ecosystem or have AI forced into your browsing experience. You decide when, how or whether to use it at all. You’ve already seen this approach in action through some of our latest features like the AI chatbot in the sidebar for desktop or Shake to Summarizeon iOS.

Robyn has returned with her first new single in seven years, the euphoric dancefloor-ready ‘Dopamine’.
The Swedish pop icon and NME Songwriter Of The Decade winner hasn’t released an album since 2018’s critically acclaimed ‘Honey‘, but speculation about her imminent return was fuelled in September when her longtime collaborator, Klas Åhlund, appeared on the Nordmark Pod and said he had “just finished a new Robyn album that’s coming out”.

The House passed a government funding package late Wednesday that will close out the longest shutdown in history.
Members returned to Washington after a 54-day recess to vote on the shutdown-ending bill brokered across party lines in the Senate. They voted 222-209, with just a handful of Democrats breaking with their leadership to get the measure over the finish line.
President Donald Trump then signed the measure into law later in the evening, setting up federal operations to resume Thursday morning.
The package includes a three-bill “minibus” of full-year funding for the Department of Agriculture and the FDA, the Department of Veterans Affairs and military construction projects and the operations of Congress. The trio of bills is the result of months of bipartisan, bicameral negotiations between top appropriators.

The accessory is like a stretchy pocket, not unlike an iPod Sock, but elongated to form a strap made of a ribbed, elastic textile that fully encloses an iPhone yet allows you to glimpse the display through its open structure. ISSEY MIYAKE’s design director Yoshiyuki Miyamae said it is inspired by the concept of ”a piece of cloth,” and described it as exploring ”the joy of wearing iPhone in your own way.” (For what it’s worth, the brand’s founder designed Steve Jobs’ iconic black mock-turtleneck.)

When Big Tech companies turn against their customers’ best interests, you can always count on dedicated hackers to step in and keep abandoned devices alive. Case in point: Google’s recently discontinued Nest products now have a new home that should keep them working for years to come.
Cody Kociemba, the developer behind the Hack/House collaborative project, is waging war against Google. The tech giant recently decided to discontinue the first two generations of its Nest Thermostat, stripping the devices of much of their original functionality. Thanks to Kociemba’s hacking efforts, Nest customers now have an alternative path to restoring the features Google removed.
