Personally I use the chatbot side panel once in a while, it doesn't get too much in the way while doing something else.

But all the other features using a small trained model are legit nice (translation, image captioning) and thankfully all optional.

    I mean, I’ve been messing with LLMs before Llama 1. I don’t hate chat bots in general. But I found the sidebar kind of stupid. It didn’t feel like a smart model when I tried, it didn’t have knobs to tune, and literally everything has a chatbot anyway.

    There are cool Firefox forks built as “agenic browsers” to interact with LLMs in a structured way. But I think they should be just that: separate. A different program to open when you want an LLM messing with your browsing, with all the security hazards that entails.
