So no text to voice/voice to text, no translation, no ocr, no summarization, no scam detection? These are useful ai features to have in a browser IMO.
Plugins exist. There is no excuse for bloat8ng the browser with these seldom used niche features by default, espexially when they represent 5% if what the AI component is doing and the other 95% are harmful to literally every living thing on the planet.
I dont consider any of those features to be bloat. "Harmful to every living thing on the planet" wtf are you referring to here?
Pigs don't consider slop to be slop.
The social and environmental impact of AI training and use is what I'm referring to.
