Smaller scale sounds like a pro to me, rather than a con.

on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
Indeed, but Helium is the new kid on the block. What might surprise you more is how many people won’t have any idea what “a Firefox” is.
Calling it a “major” browser in the first place is pretty disingenuous by this article, when the popular usage metrics clearly show it to be a niche, if not obscure, choice of browser. Chrome has more than an order of magnitude more users than Firefox.
But things get truly silly when other niche/browsers are ignored in that same breath. Chrome has more than an order of magnitude larger userbase than Brave, too, but like with Firefox, it’s still less than two orders of magnitudes of difference. And while Firefox has a few times more users than Brave, there’s nowhere near an order of magnitude’s worth of difference either. Meaning, while they are not equivalent in size, they are certainly comparable.
If Firefox is a “major” browser, then Brave would have to at the very least be considered a “big” player, too. And we all know it ain’t a big player - not by a long shot.

On top of that, regardless of however you feel about AI, there are so many questions about copyright and ownership here, that as-of-yet remain untried and unanswered by the courts, that it’s essentially impossible to know what the legal ramifications will turn out to be, when accepting “AI code” in your project. I definitely fear that it could turn out to be a sort of trojan horse against especially the GPL, and other copyleft licenses. I conaider it to be risky to use AI code, on that basis alone.
