Cool it with AI hate? Love Firefox, I don't understand slapping "AI" on a browser.


Just because you don’t want the feature doesn’t mean other don’t. I certainly would - assuming the implementation is privacy friendly


Ok, then install an extension for it? FF doesn't even come with ad-blocking yet which is useful to a lot more people.


>Ok, then install an extension for it?

Or build it in and people who don't want to use it don't?

Your stance of FF should only have the features I personally want and the features others want should be in extensions is frankly laughable


To me it is just usual Firefox behaviour chasing some trend or other. Adding features for sake of adding features. I wonder what is the over-under when this feature will be deprecated...


Do you, honestly, not see the benefits of LLMs, particularly in a browser?


If this was them bringing over window.ai from Chrome I'd say it would be good. I love the offline translation they added, and wouldn't mind something similar for LLM. But having a separate panel that's just basically chatgpt & co isn't impressive.

I'd much prefer an offline capable, leaner LLM that lets web devs do cool stuff.


I honestly don't. I do understand that others see benefits in it, but I don't really understand why.


What benefits do you think others see in it, and why do you think they're not benefits?


I'm not certain what benefits others actually get, but what I hear most often is translation and summaries.

I need translation rarely enough that it doesn't matter if the browser does it or not, and I have no interest at all in summaries of websites.


Do you, honestly, not see the benefits of blockchain, particularly in a browser?
