Now that Mozilla Firefox is adding AI directly to its browser, are there any browsers without AI or LLM? I don't want anything to do with the current LLM and AI, which I strongly believe stealing from artists, and all AI companies are freeloaders. It is a bit disappointing to see open-source software adopting something like this. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-news/ai-services-on-firefox/
@nixCraft I could explain away all the misguided attempts to have an income stream not dependent on Google. The team needs to be paid.
However, I am utterly astonished, given the *primary* focus of a Firefox user, that they felt the integration of AI/LLM access was necessary.
I don't want to support a Chromium alternative, I'm tired of Google bullying web dominance. So, I guess I'll be hoping the Servo team pull it off.
@tehstu @nixCraft I agree with you that using any Chromium-based browser ultimately gives Google more de facto power to control web standards, so its important to use something else if we can.
I'm assuming that there will continue to be AI-free Firefox derivatives. For example, I'm not sure Mullvad Browser or Tor Browser (both Firefox derivatives) will include this stuff.
