Mozilla roll out first AI features in Firefox Nightly
As Mozilla envisions Firefox’s future, we are focused on building a browser that empowers you to choose your own path and gives you the freedom to explor

Anyone have any other good suggestions for Firefox alternatives? Sounds like I may be needing to switch soon.
I highly recommend everyone making the switch to LibreWolf. It's a custom version of Firefox that focuses on the things that matter like privacy and security, while cutting out the annoyances that Mozilla loves to add to their browsers.
Oh. This looks great. Thank you for sharing.
why would you need to switch, did you read the article?
Cause AI = bad
Duh 🤪
AI as in machine learning? No I dont think that's bad. It's a very useful technology that we've already been using for decades in a bunch of different fields. But I'm assuming you're referring to LLMs which are what's being integrated into Firefox.
I would argue that LLMs ARE bad. For multiple reasons. At least the big ones run by these giant tech companies.
If you're locally running one with training data provided by you then I don't see an issue with that really. (except maybe energy consumption issues. Though I don't imagine a personal use LLM run locally would draw anywhere near the energy that something like Chat Gpt is drawing.)
I'm very much on the side that believes that what these LLM models do essentially boils down to theft/plagiarism though. So if you disagree with that you may disagree that LLMs are bad.
I did. I'm not needing to switch. At least not right now. (hence the 'may' in my original comment) But given the Laura Chambers interim CEO thing and now this LLM integration. Mozilla seems to be making moves that I don't agree with. But as long as they stay true to their key tennents I won't need to switch. Which would be good. Because I really don't want to. But I've seen a enough good companies become bad companies that I'm weary for the future of the app. So being aware of what alternatives may be out there would be helpful.
Also Firefox but less shitty.
There are none.
Well shit.
