Mozilla and LLMs

Hello:

From today's edition of The Register:
------------------------------------------------
Some users report their Firefox browser is scoffing CPU power
You guessed it: looks like it's a so-called AI
by Liam Proven
------------------------------------------------
https://www.theregister.com/2025/08/13/ … ing_power/

... in July we reported on the next installment: Firefox 141 now has an odious new feature Mozilla dubs AI-enhanced tab groups, to which the company adds a box called Things to keep in mind –

Firefox uses a local AI model to read your open tabs' titles and descriptions to suggest more tabs and group names. Everything happens on your device.

Best,

A.

Re: Mozilla and LLMs

You mean everyone hasn't been setting 'browser.ml.enable == false' since this garbage first rolled out? The mind boggles.

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

Re: Mozilla and LLMs

Nobody has changed that config setting because Devuan is Debian-based, so we're all still waiting for it to be rolled out.
