They took the AI hype train.
Oh no, optional features. The horror!
>>100114485I'm sick of being forced to use "AI" in literally fucking everything these days. Why is there never any option to disable this shit?
>>100114485They all have. Brave did the same thing. No one browser is safe from the AI scourge.
Honestly, it will be something people will wait for a browser. It's okay if you consider it bloat, but for you to be coherent, you should consider machine translation functionality bloat as well.
>>100114509Nope it's going to be everywhere because when everything goes through AI, they (the people who train the AI) will have total control over all information.
>>100114775To add to that, it won't be surprising if they start making the browser AI automatically rewrite every single webpage without telling you. Maybe there will be a little notification icon or something that says "This page was slightly modified to remove harmful content" but I wouldn't count on that.It's better than outright blocking webpages because most people won't know the page has been modified, and those that do won't know what's been modified.
God fucking dammit I just switched to Firefox last week because it was the only browser that didn't have AI shit.
>>100114798Didn't mozilla literally write an add on to replace "slurs" with less offensive words? I can see them doing something like this with ai to completely modify the contents of any webpage it deems to be unsafe.
>>100114854That's not gonnna happen, Baker got fired and they could never afford the API bill anyway.
>>100114485Librewolf will most likely patch this out.
>>100114798>To add to that, it won't be surprising if they start making the browser AI automatically rewrite every single webpage without telling you. Maybe there will be a little notification icon or something that says "This page was slightly modified to remove harmful content" but I wouldn't count on that.I've been saying for years that this is exactly what's going to happen, but retards on 4chan keep screaming "NUH UH! AI IS LE BASED BECAUSE IT MAKES TRANNIES ON TWITTER SEETHE!"
>>100114485is it a extension or baked into firefox? Maybe they can finally get up their lazy ass and fix their pdf viewer its fucking slow and lacks basic features.
>>100114898Baked into firefox. You can test it for yourself:https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-larch/
>>100114485Dropped is true. >>100114505It’s a bloat.
>>100114898>their pdf viewer its fucking slow and lacks basic featureshuh? like what? it kicks the shit out of the chromium one and adobe reader
>>100114798>It's better than outright blocking webpagesNot it's not. Outright blocking shit pisses people off and makes them want to see what they fucking asked for. Censoring shit and not even telling you about it changes the message and you don't even realize you didn't get what you asked for.
>>100115012its slow lacks annotation features and regularly shits the bed when opening semi large files. I have a 500mb pdf opens instantly on okular and I can jump anywhere does not work with firefox. I could live with that if their android port wasn't so bad as well its sucks even more.
>>100115042That's what he meant.
>>100115050wrong. also you can fill forms in it for free and even edit PDFs now. it's so good I installed it on chrome via an extension before switching to Firefox.
>>100114898>pdfIt's not 1993 anymore.
>>100114505>bloat that makes fagfox even more time-consuming to compile and fork = good>>100114898Why don't they make all these features official add-ons? You could bundle all the Pozillaslop you want into the official package, and leave a minimal version for others to use if they wish or fork. Like an operating system you can download a minimal ISO for or the full version with a DE + other utils
>>100114485Firefox has been over for years. Try and keep up.
>>100114936>It’s a bloat.anon......... browser are the definition of bloat not having this will make no difference than having it.
>>100115392>>bloat that makes fagfox even more time-consuming to compile.It queries a fucking API. What are you talking about? If that's too much for you to compile then there's no way you were ever going to compile a web browser in the first place.
>>100114485>to your AI chat choice (e.g. localhost)that sounds fine for me. using my local LLM? what's bad about that?
>>100115767So it doesn't run locally? Still bad, just for different reasons.
>>100115813Read the fucking screenshot you braindead NPC.
>>100114485>be me>using librewolf>trannyfox is doing tranny shit>shit doesn't affect me>keep using librewolfWhat's the problem trannyfox sisters?
>>100114892it is the fruit of the poisoned tree. Coomers love it and it tastes sweet as sin to watch people choke on it, but at the end of the day it is the foundation being laid to make the lives of ourselves and our descendants utterly miserable in ways that can only be guessed - like an info-mercial combined with a spam call, modified to follow you on the web and every possible medium of info it can, just for the sake of manipulating you for some stupid goal.
>>100115042I meant better for the people doing the AI. Whoever they are.
>>100115169there is no link preview no way to turn a single page annotations suck ass you cannot play media files etc. its missing loads of features that would be easily implemented. No I will not build it myself I hate having to put up js.Also Ashcroft >> Kittel
>>100114816Switch to Dillo
>>100115493>bloat must become more bloated kys
>>100114816Cromite
>>100114485>localhostBased
>>100114509I went to use my toaster the other day, can you believe I can't even install apps on that fucking thing? Let ALONE use an AI assistant with it? What horseshit. How the fuck am I supposed to make toast now?
>>100114936>It’s a bloat.So don't enable it.I don't know what features they're adding to Firefox but I don't see any of it in their source code yet.
>>100114932Where is the code?
>>100114932>ftp.mozilla.org>Firefox dropped ftp years ago
>>100114775>it's the same people who already control all web hosting and search resultsI sleep
>>100115212tell that to the rest of the planet, sweetie, everyone still uses PDF
>>100123393You don't email LaTeX documents? I'm so sorry.
>>100122440>So don’t enable it >if I close my eyes it doesn’t exist kys retard
>>100123668I do as PDF.Can I trust that whoever I send .tex files to has TeX Live installed and knows how to compile a document? Of course not. Some of my LaTeX documents are split into multiple .tex files with \include and have images embedded with graphicx - that would be attaching many files.
>>100114509because they have to keep the AI bubble hype train going. The end goal is to have all the normie NPC's buying AI service subscriptions.
>>100114936>Dropped is true.And then browse the web using what? Manifest V3 Chronium? Firefox is shitty, but the alternatives are still even shittier.
>>100126034Pale Moon
>>100114485
>>100114873>>100116406Based Librewolf chads can't stop winning!Chromeshitters on suicide watch!
>>100126054but the alternatives are still even shittier.
>>100125869Patch it out if you don't want it. Still nobody has answered >>100122461 where is the code for this?I don't see it in their source. It's not in my build of Firefox, so what's the issue?
AI is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
>>100114775That's what I've been saying. All the billions being dumped into this glorified chatbot are just for the next generation of manipulation tools used in social media. Now they can manipulate everything outside of social media, too. Oh and make the consumer do the processing on their machines, using their electricity.
>>100130535There are useful applications of AI. Any integration with browsers needs to be done carefully though. It's encouraging that there's a localhost option.
>>100122506>https://
>>100130639Nothing he said was wrong.
>>100130535your life is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist
>>100127077Waterfox chad here no AI shit here either
