    Good. Stop fucking around, focus on the browser. If they can make it provide value that Google can’t, they are succeeding. Google cant compete in privacy.

      They are dropping it to focus on the important shit. Forcing bullshit genai stuff into their browser and working on adtech.

        Forcing bullshit genai stuff into their browser

        It’s an opt-in feature that just opens whatever AI service you picked, their website in a sidebar. You can even use your own local AI if you want to. Or not use it at all. But the AI isn’t actually in your browser any more than it is in your browser when you open their website in a tab.

        If the translation thing counts as AI then that’s actually a really cool and more private use of it compared to querying a server. It can do the translation completely locally. Works pretty well too in my experience, though it does think for a moment when you tell it to translate.
