Super frustrating the AI Chatbots are infecting my Firefox browser now. It looks like malware and pretty much acts like it since it cannot be disabled from the sidebar outside of closing this window. I like vertical tabs, but they require so many other options by default. Even more frustrating that the URL goes to a chrome browser link: chrome://browser/content/genai/chat.html
Alarms very heightened.
What if you weren't concerned about delivering what the user wanted as there wasn't sufficient competition to force you to, why you could just deliver whatever the highest bidder or your own interests and biases decided?
This used to be a debate Google had with itself, now it's every single company's dream to provide what they want you to see."Splinternet". What are your options to find other info if there isn't a functional, reasonably searchable internet to verify, compare, research, debunk, etc.?
It will take a shorter time to ruin the Internet than it did to build it, and I'll be racing back to the library as long as books are still in print.
