AI-assisted tab groups
pls, mozilla, i beg you. be the anti ai company. you can’t be climate friendly while pushing ai.
Seriously. I hope there is a way to turn this off
i did go digging and there’s an entry in about:config for
browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabledCool I’ll have to check when I go home. I wouldn’t be surprised if I did this already.
“As the AI-side of the equation happens on your device no details on which tabs you’re viewing are sent to the cloud for processing.”
yeah but i don’t want them to use ai at all
The issue about being climate friendly isn’t during inference but during training. It’s the training that takes a lot of time and huge amounts of energy.
Hope there’s a simple button to switch that garbage off rather than having to dig through about:config with every subsequent update.
@omgubuntu@floss.social and one more Crap they force in their browser user don’t want.
a new thing to add in the “why firefox died” history.
I like Firefox, but I loathe AI as anything else but a choice, and it should be an ethical trained LLM.
