The Tor Project has removed Firefox’s artificial intelligence and machine learning components from its latest browser release, citing concerns about unaudited “black box” behavior. This move contrasts sharply with industry trends where major browsers are aggressively integrating AI capabilities. Developers have also implemented several security enhancements and user interface improvements in the new alpha version.

The Tor Project has taken a stand against the growing trend of artificial intelligence integration in web browsers by removing Firefox‘s AI and machine learning components from the latest Tor Browser alpha release. According to reports, this decision stems from the development team’s inability to properly audit the code and behavior of these machine learning models, which they describe as “black box” systems with potentially unpredictable outcomes.
