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?
Netscape Navigator!
Vivaldi recently posted this -vivaldi-wont-allow-a-machine-to-lie-to-you.

Ungoogled Chromium
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.
Too late Firefox already contains neural nets. It's how the inbuilt local machine translation works.
