    Why does my open source browser need proprietary SaaS products stuffed into it?

    Isn’t this what extensions are for?

      Firefox has a tendency to embed optional extensions as impossible to uninstall core features these days, so it would not change much.

    I wish they spent their time fixing bugs, rather than implementing this bullshit

        I strongly believe that generative AI is catastrophically misused in the vast majority of its applications, so in my eyes, adding gpt-based AI to the browser is largely a wasted effort

    Honestly, the worst part of the AI craze is that so many people hear AI now and immediately hate it even though it can really do some amazing stuff, e.g. in medicine. AI as a blanket term just has so much variance, there’s a ton of trash and a ton of great stuff.

      Part of the problem is that all ads anymore want push their version of “AI” in your face and some of these “AI” are nothing new just rebranded.

      Part of my research as an undergrad was working with PLSA. It’s very much an algorithm.

    Pretty sure the only thing I wouldn’t object to AI being used for in Firefox would be ad blocking. Surely they’re going to use this for that right?

    Right?

    Shit.

    The way I see AI being implemented into Firefox, regardless of whether it’s gonna be opt-in or out in the future is that they need to keep up with the latest browser trends in the future. If they don’t, they will definitely lose more of whatever probably small amount of remaining normies who don’t use edge or chrome but instead opt for Firefox. They’re not tech literate enough to see a conveniently placed ad telling them that xyz browser now uses AI security features and Firefox doesn’t and discern the fact that it’s a ploy to get them to switch. We need more normies if we really want a chance to keep Firefox more than just treadingn water, and the best way is to offer more random bullshit of the week to keep them from switching to a competitor.

      They actually plan to use some local stuff in addition to the rest, otherwise I don’t trust anything OpenAI/Google.

    Anyone have any other good suggestions for Firefox alternatives? Sounds like I may be needing to switch soon.

    I think it makes sense. I like ChatGPT and I appreciate having easy access to it. What I really wish is the option to use local models instead. I realize most people don’t have machines that can tokenize quickly enough but for those that do…
