Am engineer. Know zero professional people in the engineering community who use AI browsers, and very few who even touch AI for anything aside from docs or stats.

In my personal life I know zero people who use these browsers. I think this is just panic from the higher ups at Mozilla who have no idea what in the fuck the company should be doing or is about, even.

Start making tools to give to people to combat this bullshit from the EU. Build a USABLE and decentralized chat app that people can actually use FFS. Build something like Proton and ACTUALLY BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT.

Others have eaten your lunch because of this exact thing. Do better.

Small LLMs could be useful in-browser for automating actions - e.g. reject all cookie/tracking popups. Consent-o-matic only works for half the sites I encounter and doesn't support mobile

Security however is another rabbit hole

Consent-o-matic does too support Firefox mobile! What makes you think it doesn't?

The mobile sites I visit don't have the cookie banners auto dismissed

Curious. There are certain ones it doesn't work on, both on desktop and mobile, but works as normal other than that. Maybe check your settings?
