I don't understand the hate. It's just a sidebar for the supported LLMs. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?
Yes, I would prefer Mozilla focus on the browser, but to me, this seems like it was done in an afternoon.
It seems like common cynicism. Mozilla add this feature, as not to yield major features to other browsers. Mozilla's lets you natively have lots of different AI solutions to pick from.
Not every feature is for everyone. Not every feature is done being improved on at release.
And in spite of popular opinions, organizations don't do just one thing and then do just the next thing and the thing after that. Organizations can and do focus on and prioritize many things at the same time.
And for people who are naysaying AI at every mention, it has a lot of great and fascinating uses, and if you think otherwise, you really should try them more. I've used it plenty for work and life. It's not going away, might as well do some nice things with it.
I want my browser to be a browser. I don't want Pocket, I don't want AI, I don't want bullshit. There are plugins for that.
that's the great thing: you don't have to use it
