   Firefox and Mozilla ignoring the core audience's desire to keep the browser free from LLM is not good news. Ignoring your biggest fans always ends up costing you. I'm just saying. On a related note, someone with engineering and money resources can build LLM-free dumb products, like home appliances, electric cars, etc., and easily make good financial fortunes. People are sick of this LLM and privacy issues. Please stop adding this nonsense to everything

     @nixCraft @trinsec I prefer disabling some AI shit but therefor am not bound to an engine controlled by the biggest advertising company around.

     For now its an extension you dont have to install? Or did I miss something here?

     @nixCraft This is true but what other are there for Firefox to monetize? I am also very sad that they go to ad business but I don't see anyone proposing anything else that can actually make money.

     @nixCraft For website translation, I'd rather give my data to a local LLM that runs on my computer than give it to google. That's what the FF translation LLM allows me to do. Its a privacy win.

     Agreed. But there are also very many ignorant people

     @nixCraft Someone will just fork Firefox to lose the AI the way Chromium is Chrome without the spyware.

     @nixCraft icecat and librewolf are an alternative, we could remove the llm deps and build without any llm in it i guess
