Vivaldi is an apt comparison because in my experience, it is really bloated compared to any other Chrome-based browser. Bloated to the point of feeling laggy on desktops.

Gambling is pretty popular these days. I vote for a gambling sidebar. And if you don't like it, you can just turn it off...

Other comments kind of allude to it, but Mullvad is the go-to recommendation for private VPN services in general. It's not very cheap, but it's also not compromised like most of the ones you'll see on sketchy review sites and sponsorships.*

* Edit: including the VPNs TechRadar promotes in the middle of their own article.

Mozilla keeps adding so much new stuff into the browser. AI or not, good or bad, it is just getting so damn bloated.

The funny part is, we have the solutions for climate change. Politicians don't listen to them now. Would they really change their minds if a chatbot said the same thing?

Very strange rules there.

Traditional art is allowed, and the community is called "digital art."

Maybe because the people in the photo are lobbying on behalf of a pro AI astroturf group

That's exactly how it's being sold to people: as something that will fix society. Like this politician:

Eby called AI a technology with “incredible promise,” including in providing medical care and tackling issues such as climate change.

This was after AI was used to encourage and plan a mass shooting.

As long as Sam Altman sticks around, that damn orb will too.

Why even bother with this? Everybody knows that the new excuse for bot-based disasters is blaming the AI on it. Identity doesn't matter. Facebook's Head of AI Safety foolishly left a bot alone, and almost lost all her emails.

A single human is allowed to delegate their World ID to as many agents as they want.

The only thing this provides is a great way to encourage identity theft. Thanks to the "code is law" underpinnings, the rules governing your personal safety will be "not your keys, not your identity".

Finally, a robot that can pass the butter. Shouldn't need to connect to the internet a second time after it learns the image data for that.

Look into cleaning up your context menu shell extensions: just a single bad one will freeze your context menu exactly how you described it.
