Which of the following attributes would you most want your new browser to have, and which would you want least?

Twice as slow as your current browser

Is that a joke?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Oh, what a deal...
