They support Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, HuggingChat, and Mistral.
They better not decide to enable it by default.
why a fucking chatbot? translate a page better for me you fucking losers, all the translation options suck for privacy outside of specifically trained local AIs. this is the BEST use case for a small local LLM yet mozilla with all its brains and resources couldnt rub two neurons together for this.
or they could do character prediction on your typing to make typing faster. just some legit examples, why waste resources to build a chat ai into my browser when i can just open a website???
Sigh. I’m glad to have switched to LibreWolf.
I switched a while back before all the Ai and “privacy preserving” telemetry stuff.
Every update note I see for Firefox now just reinforces my decision.
Unpopular opinion, I think they’re doing it right as well as it can be at least. It’s completely optional and doesn’t seem to be intrusive.
yeah its not google chrome level which i’m thankful about.
I’m way more pissed about restarting my PC after an update and having Copilot installed without my permission.
I wish I had telemetry on such features.
I really doubt a significant number of people use AI chatbots often enough that having it in a dedicated sidebar is worth it.
I wish I had telemetry
I’m sure they do as Mozilla is an ad company
This is apparently either not widely known or some people just like to shoot the messenger.
- jwz, Jun.: Mozilla is an advertising company now
- jwz, Oct.: Mozilla’s CEO doubles down on them being an advertising company now
- Mozilla support: Share data with Mozilla to help improve Firefox
- Firefox documentation: Telemetry
While you are not wrong your dislike of Mozilla is has more to do with your instance being anti west. I’m not sure I’m ready to side with lemmyml
