    "As the AI-side of the equation happens on your device no details on which tabs you’re viewing are sent to the cloud for processing."

    Hope there's a simple button to switch that garbage off rather than having to dig through about:config with every subsequent update.

    a new thing to add in the "why firefox died" history.

    I like Firefox, but I loathe AI as anything else but a choice, and it should be an ethical trained LLM.

    @omgubuntu@floss.social Stop calling everything a computer does AI. It's embarrassingly stupid and a big reason why everyone automatically sees the term and thinks it's total shit.

    @omgubuntu@floss.social Jeepers. Boycott Firefox

    Good news for Debian users as we are, and will be until next year, on ESR 140 and so are are free from the AI virus for one more year (except the AI which Firefox already forced into the interfaces in other places). We'll have increased memory usage but worse performance is an okay tradeoff if you get less AI in exchange

    @omgubuntu@floss.social

    Good job there are alternatives.
    I saw no reduced memory usage on Debian, just AI bunk.

    Deleted replaced with a better alternative of my choice...

    @omgubuntu@floss.social this could be an add-on. Mozilla can ensure users are informed of its existence in some way or the other if they really think it is clever and a great addition to the browser. How will this change the browser size and performance? Give us choice Mozilla, don't strip away our autonomy like the rest of big tech.
