Mozilla is developing a built‑in AI assistant for Firefox that will be offered as a third browsing mode alongside Normal and Private tabs. They’re calling it “Window AI.” Details are still scarce.

“It’s safe to say that the people who volunteered to “shape” the initiative want it dead and buried. Of the 52 responses at the time of writing, all rejected the idea and asked Mozilla to stop shoving AI features into Firefox.”

    So much whining… Please get to know the things you attack, before you embarrass yourself.

    Do you know what a “build in AI” is? It’s just some algorithms that makes your day easier. And no one steals your data… sigh

    It’s a local collection of algorithms, and you are quite safe. You probably already use it in so many ways you can’t count them - it’s just not called “AI” which I guess is the trigger word for you…

      So much wtf. Please name one way I use AI without knowing it, and ways that enrage me don’t count.

        Well, then give me a report of everything you use IT for… You phone, apps, tablets, computers, smart tv’s and so forth?

          Um, nah… ? I actively avoid half those things and yet use computers constantly. The burden would be on you. So perhaps you can actually give examples that would be true of a lot of people. I feel like you think lemmy users are like most people and just along with what’s popular, but that’s not the case, particularly with computing concerns.

          Nope. The “AI summary” is something I disable on Google and I try to actively avoid it because it enrages me. It’s total dogshit.
