I want AI in my browser, as long as it is zero data retention (edit: used ZDR) and hosted in Europe with local hosting as an option. AND if it can be fully turned off.

If somehow it all gets worked into becoming less detrimental I think it just needs to be reworked from the way Google and such tries to do it. Summaries shouldn't be a default response. Waste of space/resources and can be very frustrating. At least in duckduckgo I've seen they try to chop it from responding, then if you want the summary you can click the down arrow so you get it.

So many quick searches result in useless data spewing on for umpteen lines taking up the whole page just for someone to glance at it and scroll past it all to a site that is specific to the data search.
