I hope that you heard that I like to disable privacy invasive browser features and made a way for me to disable it.
If it is ON DEVICE and you can just disable it. Then i think i even would like that.
it is on device, and it only activates when you alt-click a link.
Then for me there is nothing against it. Of course AI can shit itself sometimes, but sometimes its nice.
I have been running Firefox since before 1.0. I was using it when it was called Firebird. I was using it when it was called Netscape Navigator. I always supported it, even when performance was lagging behind IE or Chrome. I don’t know if I can go on much longer if Mozilla keeps trying to shove AI crap down my throat. Sad.

Simple, you don’t opt into it. Problem solved. You’re welcome.
I know that. Nobody is forcing me to use it.
But now I’ll have a browser with a large, useless, disabled binary blob attached. Do I want this in my system?
Jump to Waterfox or Librewolf. It’s really easy, just copy the profile folder and go. No more mozilla telemetry or mozilla account or pocket or acceptable friendly advertising or ai or whatever the fuck else
I’ll have a look at those, thanks.
How large is the blob? How space constrained are you? Tell me the numbers.
If you played around with local small LLMs you know that it still needs a few hundred megs at least.
I don’t really care about the space, I just don’t want it in my systems.
How much useless space can a program take up before we are allowed to complain about it
