    The poll is over, and the result is clear:
  • What Firefox provides here:

    A connector to LLM providers.
    Accelerators (context menu options).
    

    From a coding perspective, this should ideally be a very lightweight functionality.

    This feature is very analogous to options to add a search engine, and also to provide accelerators via context menu.

    While it can be done via third-party or Official Mozilla add-ons, but (to me) it still makes sense to have it part of the product.

  • The poll is over, and the result is clear:
  • If you're using a VPN at the OS or browser level, just like any other traffic, your query to the LLM service will be routed via the VPN. That VPN could be any VPN of your choice - Firefox VPN, Mullvad, or Proton etc.

    The only problem is that most LLMs require a profile/login to work with. In such cases, using a VPN will be useless, as the LLM server will know who you are.

  • The poll is over, and the result is clear:
  • It's just a plain integration with 3rd-party or self-hosted LLM service.

    I'm not sure if Mozilla will make money from this feature in any way.

    Have you read anything about it anywhere?

  • The poll is over, and the result is clear:
  • It's just an integration with LLM services and not AI baked-in the browser code. You can even self-host any such service (Ollama) and integrate Firefox with it. That will make sure your query is not leaving your network.

  • The poll is over, and the result is clear:
  • A few things to keep in mind:

    • This feature is just about working with existing AI models.

    • People who worry about privacy can still use it by connecting with an LLM on their own computer (like a local version of Ollama).

    • Whether this feature helps or not depends on how each person uses it.

    The whole discussion on that pull request is extremely sketchy, IMO.

    >A federal judge has ruled that Google has an illegal monopoly in the US. “The market reality is that Google is the only real choice” as the default search engine, Judge Amit Mehta said in his decision, and he determined it had gotten that way unfairly. It’s a ruling that could portend big changes for the company, but we yet don’t know how big, and we might not for years.

    >Mehta declared on Monday that Google was liable for violating antitrust laws, vindicating the Department of Justice and a coalition of states that sued the tech giant in 2020. The next step — deciding on remedies for its illegal conduct — begins next month. Both parties must submit a proposed schedule for remedy proceedings by September 4th and then appear at a status conference on September 6th.

    >For those wanting to build a Wayland-only Linux desktop experience without carrying any aging X11 baggage, GNOME 47 will be able to optionally offer Wayland-only support without carrying X11/X.Org support. This Mutter merge request landed today that allows compiling Mutter with X11 support disabled. That landed today along with this GNOME Shell merge request for being able to disable X11 support too.
