This is how you lose. I only use FF. I will switch to another browser if they enshittify with AI.

Which browser is not going to have AI?

Which browser is not going to have AI?

the ones worth using, of course

That was an empty answer.

I assume there'll be some niche little fork for the die-hards for whom clicking a button in the settings to turn off the features they don't like isn't enough.

Ok. You're entitled to have your own opinion, as I do.

Problem is that the anti-AI folk don't want me to have the option to have AI in my browser of choice.

Not me, though. You want your AI browser, and I want my "dumb" browser, of course they can coexist

Lync?

you meant lynx, I suppose? it's still useful sometimes... last time I needed it was last year, when I did a bad nvidia driver install

edit: I meant elinks not lynx

Yes, Lynx is the one I meant. Haven't heard of it nor seen it since university in the early 90's so I thought it would be fitting here.

Why though? I’ve pointed out elsewhere, a browser is one of the few places an LLM makes sense. Especially if it’s local.
