Firefox Sidebar Includes AI Chatbot Now
(lemmy.world)
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.
It's weird, yes, but there's no AI interaction by default, it's basically just a thing that lets you set up your favorite AI if you wish. I played around with it, found it not useful and switched it off. It's really no harm done, and if it gets some people to stick with firefox, all the better.
