Next version of FireFox has an AI kill switch!

I don't know why the hate... I think Google Gemini implementation as a search engine, and AI in general, is a very good implementation and has helped me a lot.

I'll be using it. I already like the siderbar chat option. I was using Perplexity's Comet browser but it feels too bloated and slow. Now I'm back on Firefox. I am all for AI integration as long as it works well.

I was also using Chrome but a lot of the AI stuff is limited to the US for now :(

It's pretty disastrous for websites that used to rely on traffic from google searches. Now you have to scroll down past the AI answer to find any actual sources. Zero click searches.
 
AI services are getting more complicated. There are reports that some of these AI agents are full of vulnerabilities and backdoors.
that moltbot thing is but that's just something someone put together. at least it's open source.

agents from the likes of OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, etc are more trustworthy.

Obviously the more data you give them access to the more risk you're at. Personally, I like Google's implementation best so far. Anthropic is highly trusted as well.

Well that's the issue. If you give them credentials or private data how much can you trust to not leak them because someone knew some magic key phrase.

Over the years search engines got increasingly and intentionally worse, and now coincidentally all have AI to parse the search data and prevent the need to interact with the returned website results and these things are gathering tremendous personal data.

Pretty scummy.

"I dont know why". Well I would ask gently, please then stop and think about it. Because "I don't know why" has become the go-to a cop out answer excusing terrible behavior.

It's not like you don't deserve an answer but it doesn't take a genius to see why.

Heimdall_Xtreme Heimdall_Xtreme is a very cool poster on the forum and I like his posts and he likes Gravity Rush also, which is awesome. But unfortunately he is also a very ignorance is bliss person.

In fact, despite all this implementation, I still use Google search. Of course, AI has helped me a lot.

Thanks for the reply, friend, and I appreciate you considering me as a person.

Even so, despite the implementation of AI, I still look for information online and on Wikipedia. Ultimately, they're tools, and I'm grateful they exist. I'm sharing my experience with AI in many situations, and it has helped me in many cases.

But hey, everyone is different, and I take advantage of every tool available.
 
FireFox is the GOAT browser. Especially on Android and with YouTube. Ad block, sponsor segments auto-skip, background play, disabled shorts, disabled auto title translation, dislike counter restoration, you name it. It has it all.
