Mozilla has expressed significant concern regarding Google's plans to integrate the Gemini AI model into its Chrome browser, fearing that it will create an unfair advantage over competitors. The introduction of AI-based APIs will lead developers to prefer Chrome for application building due to Gemini's behavior, affecting other browsers' effectiveness. Mozilla's shift from a passive stance to vocal opposition highlights worries about market competition and the implications of using a dominant browser's AI model, which could lead to a homogeneous web experience across browsers.
Baking Gemini into Chrome isn't just a minor technical detail—the browser's choice of AI model can negatively impact user experiences in other browsers.
Mozilla shifted its stance from 'wait-and-see' to outright opposition as discussions with Google developers did not address its concerns about market competition.
