Firefox Smart Window – The browsing assistant that thinks with you, not for you

Mozilla가 Firefox에 통합한 AI 기반 브라우징 어시스턴트 'Smart Window Beta'를 공개했다. 이 도구는 사용자의 열린 탭을 분석해 요약, 비교, 계획 수립을 지원하며, 사용자가 대화 내용을 직접 통제할 수 있도록 개인정보 보호에 중점을 둔다. 대화 내용은 사용자의 기기에 저장되고, Mozilla 서버에는 저장되지 않아 프라이버시를 강화했다. 사용자는 세 가지 AI 모델 중 선택하거나 직접 모델을 가져올 수 있어 유연한 활용이 가능하다. Smart Window는 검색과 채팅을 자연스럽게 오가며, 사용자가 필요할 때만 활성화할 수 있는 점이 특징이다.

Browsing an unknown site without using an AdBlocker

is like having sex with a total stranger without using a condom.

Login in to a website you haven't used for a while and the first thing you see is a pop-up: "Do you want to enable Browser notifications? Do you want to enable advanced features?" What ever the hell they should be.

I didn't the first time I setup my account, I didn't the last time I logged in, why the hell would you think I might want to now.

No, and stop making your site annoying and a pain to visit.

Looking at you: every site that has money in the background.

Thanks for posting this, @jzb et al at #LWN:

"This release includes many capabilities that reflect ideas and direction long championed by our late colleague, @mtaht.

They also announced the release of the #LibreQoS #Bufferbloat #Speedtest v2, also dedicated to #DaveTäht. It runs in a user's browser to look at "#latency under load, #jitter, loss & what those things mean for the kinds of traffic people actually care about: #browsing, #streaming, video calls, audio calls, backups, and #gaming".

[en] Is #AI "#supercharged #surveillance" #legal? (#USA)

"... answer is not straightforward."

"... huge amount of information that the #government can #collect on Americans that is not itself regulated ... by the #Constitution .. #Fourth #Amendment ..."

"... the government can purchase commercial data ... which can include #sensitive personal information like #mobile #location and web #browsing records."

"What AI can do is it can take a lot of information, none of which is by itself sensitive, and therefore none of which by itself is #regulated, and it can give the government a lot of powers ...".

"AI can aggregate ... information to spot patterns, draw inferences ... at massive scale ... law has not caught up with #technological reality".
