I get what they are trying to say, but I definitely don't want my browser to just facilitate me raw-dogging the internet. I had to use someone else's computer at work the other day, and they don't have any ad block and have apparently clicked "yes" to every dialog box for years. It was a fucking nightmare. Every web page was so full of ads, pop-ups, notifications, banners, auto-playing videos, etc. Jesus christ, I just needed to check the weather on a local news website and the internet skull-fucked me until I had ocular hepatitis. Decided the safest course of action was to just stand outside and look for tornadoes myself.
I want my browser to let me raw-dog the internet until I tell it otherwise.
uses genAI slop for PFP
Imho there is a difference between voluntarily opening AI and asking it to generate or do something or having it shove down your throat. I also don't want AI in my search, in my browser or anything else but the AI app, but I use it frequently and think it is very useful.
I also think that it isn't 100% good or bad. AI can be helpful and supporting if you human-check the results. It can also be wrong, misleading and copyright infringing. Furthermore, forcing features onto users which they don't like is annoying, especially if their data gets abused for it.
Differentiated thinking is important for this topic.
Nah man get with the times
if you aren't against it, you are for it!!!
Yea that's the first thing I noticed x)
The same for search engines.
I want to search for information about a hobby or new interest. I dont want to see 61 pages of the same 3 websites with different summaries to make it seem like I've got a lot to choose from. I dont want ad content shoved down my proverbial throat. I dont want to see influencer bullshit.
The internet is the single greatest repository of information that this planet has ever seen, and we allow it to overflow with drivel so that a billionaire can get a bit more rich.

Those are the sites that I block in my pihole.
Firefox offered me a survey the other day on this exact topic. I said I don't want it in my browser for all questions.
"What if your browser.."
No, just no. Please stop shoving new features in that I won't use.
Prompt: please summarize this meme for me
Browser ai bad
Browser go to webpages good
Jarvis, summarise this comment, I ain't reading allat
You dont get a choice in the matter, you will have ai slop shobe down your throat and you are gonna like it
You get the choice: move to another browser and search engine that doesn't. I moved to Vivaldi and Startpage and haven't looked back since.
If I need to I'll use Elinks.
Right, except even if you find a browser that returns pure searches, it won't be long before it's just AI slop with extra steps
I'm fine with ai, as long as its off by default
A good ~~OS~~ browser gives you the tools you need, then steps out of the way.

I use Qwant.
I clear my cookies everytimes my browser closes.
Qwant uses a cookie to remember I don't want AI summary.
Really looking forward to when Ladybird is stable
