uggggggggggh. I'm using Firefox because chrome is really going too far with it's manifest v3 garbage killing decent adblockere and Firefox is basically the only non chromium based option. Please for the love of everything that is holy. Just. Make. Your. Browser. Better. Don't need ai gimmicks. Definitely don't need to lay people off. You need to get back on track. Holy heck. This is the worst.

AI will be great for translation of webpages locally instead of sending content over the wire

I can get behind this if everything is processed locally. Let my computer do the computing and stop harvesting my data, internet

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Firefox already has that as a built-in feature on desktop version.

If the only use case is translation, that's probably not a good business case.

That's not the only use case. It could read a 400 page pdf locally and summarize it for you, answer questions and find which slide the data you want is on.

The use cases are only limited by how powerful the AI is
