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?

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

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

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?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

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