  • , the “last privacy-respecting browser” now nags you with in-browser pop-ups to let AI generate “key points” when you long-press links.

  • @Feyd Fair corrections, thank you. The hover thing was sloppy on my part -- it's a long-press/context menu, not passive. And the key points feature does run a local model, not cloud inference. I'll edit the post.

    The default-on nag UX is still bullshit but you're right that mixing valid complaints with inaccurate claims just gives people a reason to dismiss the whole thing.

  • @TheTechnician27 you're technically making a point about language inflation, but you picked maybe the worst possible example to die on that hill because "we said it's opt-in but it's actually opt-out" is genuinely closer to gaslighting than 95% of the times people use that word online.

  • @jbowen @firefox @librewolf this honestly makes me so sad inside. i think i developed somewhat of an emotional connection with mozilla over the years, clinging to them as the one last shining light amidst the vast sea of enshittification.

  • @finallymadeanaccount i am indeed very passionate about data privacy :)

    this is less about which AI is "safe to use," and more about the fact that these AI websites track us in the exact same way 99% of the internet does.

    whether or not that is "safe" for you depends entirely on your personal identity. these third parties that collect and aggregate data on you can sell that data to anyone - including government institutions. The US CBP (Border Patrol) has notoriously used this method of data collection to track peoples' movements

    (shout-out to @josephcox and @404mediaco for the incredible reporting - i <3 you)

    regardless of whether or not it is dangerous for someone, I personally don't believe it is ethical to abuse peoples' privacy like this.

    "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."
