For me that was together with

A privacy-respecting AI assistant that makes your browser smarter by learning how you use it

So I don't really care how slow the browser is, as long as it doesn't have an AI "assistant" that is monitoring my browser usage

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I wouldn't mind an AI assistant, as long as it's fully local.

But why? If you want that, you can just have it outside of your browser. Or maybe get an extension that works with an AI assistant on your machine.

I honestly don't care either way about an AI assistant. I don't intend to use it, so I'd much rather their efforts be spent elsewhere.

Why would you want that in a browser? We have LLMs you can run local.

Can you let me have my own preferences? Am I allowed?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not at the cost of my experience. It should be a optional feature if anything

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

Agreed. If you don't want to use it it should just stay out of the way.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yup, I stuck that as "least want." I already marked "2x faster performance" as "most want" on another question, so hopefully it all shakes out in the end.

You clearly missed the point about "privacy respecting." It will only share data with Meta, Google and the US government.

Oh, what a deal...
