      The built-in AI staff,you referred to, is nothing but an accelerator to integrate with 3rd-party or self-hosted LLMs. It’s quite similar to choosing a search engine in settings. This feature itself is lightweight and can be disabled in settings if not required.

          Users are only shown Big Tech “3rd-party” options. Mozilla made this choice intentionally.

          Well, how many users really have LLM local-hosted?

    • no account or login required.
    • it’s an addon (and one you have to go get), not baked-in.
    • limited to queries about content you’re currently looking at.
      (it’s not a general ‘search’ or queries engine)
    • llm is hosted by mozilla, not a third party.
    • session histories are not retained or shared, not even with mistral (it’s their model).
    • user interactions are not used to train.
