And so it begins.

Chrome is shipping a Prompt API - giving websites access to the browser's built-in LLM.

This is the scope creep I wrote about... websites can now pass your page content, inputs and browsing context to an AI baked into the browser itself.

@Waterfox @wernerprise me! It’s great. Firefox was getting progressively more naggy and annoying. So glad to have a distraction free browser
