Firefox introduces AI as experimental feature
(lemmy.fish)
They support Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, HuggingChat, and Mistral.
It is a sidebar that sends a query from your browser directly to a server run by a giant corporation like Google or OpenAI, consumes an excessive amount of carbon/water, then sends a response back to you that may or may not be true (because AI is incapable of doing anything but generating what it thinks you want to see).
Not only is it unethical in my opinion, it's also ridiculously rudimentary...
It gives you many options on what to use, you can use Llama which is offline. Needs to be enabled though about:config > browser.ml.chat.hideLocalhost.
and thus is unavailable to anyone who isn't a power user, as they will never see a comment like this and about:config would fill them with dread
Lol, that is certainly true and you would need to also set it up manually which even power users might not be able to do. Thankfully there is an easy to follow guide here: https://ai-guide.future.mozilla.org/content/running-llms-locally/.
