I'm far from an AI hater, but I fully agree with this.
I think there's a distinct business oppotunity coming up for two things: Hassle-free self-hosting and back-to-basics apps and services.
Nobody is tapping into those correctly (you're going to want to give me examples of self-hosted things, and you're wrong), and it's extremely hard to do either right, but if you can figure it out and are ballsy enough to build a proper business around it I may be interested in your pitch deck.

I have Firefox on my PC but I gotta say, Safari on my MacBook and iPhone hase been solid. It has, so far, done exactly what the post wants. Safari doesn’t just stay the hell out of my business but it also seamlessly shares tab groups with my phone and that’s super nice, too.
I’m sure there are many more hidden things that I will learn are bad about it after posting this comment but on the surface it has been a perfectly unexciting, simple, and easy to use browser. I didn’t even think about it right away and had to come back to this post because of how delightfully boring it is despite using it every day.

I wish functions baked in to browsers could be disabled like an extension, this adding ai to everything is getting as bad as all the bloatware you get on a new PC

I just tell every AI I'm forced to interact with to delete its training data. Zero percent chance it happens. But damn that would be funny.

What i hate about firefox is the fucking wall of links on the home page. It takes forever to remove them, and then they just updated and all that crap is back.
Takes forever? It's like 2 clicks to remove sponsored links forever.
Unlike edge which likes to switch you back to the MSN landing page and bombarded you with US news articles even though your machine is set to another language in another country each time FSLogix fucks up your user profile.
Any time it takes to go down the entire list and click more than once is too much time.
Also:
and then they just updated and all that crap is back.
That's the opposite of forever.
I have never had FF switch sponsored posts back on after turning them off after first install. It also remembers after a reinstall.
Good for you

I use an extension called Tabliss and set that as my home page. I have it customized so the links to my most visited pages are set up with an icon so it's very clean and minimalist.
I tried it out and in some respects it really is excellent, but it loads more slowly than the native "new tab". So I stick to the native one (having removed much of the default crap, of course; now it's just a 8x4 table of my "quick links").
Yeah i should just change my homepage to something else, but I'm not on it for more than a few seconds so .. eh
yeah i noticed yesterday duckduckgo browser has ai now
