It's just a plain integration with 3rd-party or self-hosted LLM service.

I'm not sure if Mozilla will make money from this feature in any way.

Have you read anything about it anywhere?

It's just an integration with LLM services and not AI baked-in the browser code. You can even self-host any such service (Ollama) and integrate Firefox with it. That will make sure your query is not leaving your network.

Rustdesk controversy

The whole discussion on that pull request is extremely sketchy, IMO.

Tuba is now added to Gnome Circle. That's a good news.

It’s about their FakeSpot subsidiary.

Also not what I said.

Source: 2022 Hey look, years ago. And your other page was 2018.

Mozilla started selling private data to advertising companies in 2023

(Assuming this is about Pocket) Is it too much to expect from you to know the difference between aggregated non-PII data vs PII data?

Yes, like publishing a new article every day just to prove their commitment to end-users' privacy.

Incremental updates to articles, hosted literally on home page, with details of newer privacy features is so old school.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

Incorrect, that's actually from 2022 B.C.

And your other page was 2018

Correct, the snap of article from 2018 looks exactly identical to 2024 instance with ZERO modifications. Mozilla finally gave us on Privacy it seems, as no one bothered to update that page since 2018.

Wait a sec, they also haven't updated this article as well since 2020. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/compare/chrome/

For those wanting to build a Wayland-only Linux desktop experience without carrying any aging X11 baggage, GNOME 47 will be able to optionally offer Wayland-only support without carrying X11/X.Org support. This Mutter merge request landed today that allows compiling Mutter with X11 support disabled. That landed today along with this GNOME Shell merge request for being able to disable X11 support too.

 

To get started with the real-time kernel for Ubuntu 24.04, check out the official documentation. One thing to keep in mind if you’re an NVIDIA GPU user is that the real-time Ubuntu kernel does not support the proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers.

 

The Register has learned from those involved in the browser trade that Apple has limited the development and testing of third-party browser engines to devices physically located in the EU. That requirement adds an additional barrier to anyone planning to develop and support a browser with an alternative engine in the EU.

It effectively geofences the development team. Browser-makers whose dev teams are located in the US will only be able to work on simulators. While some testing can be done in a simulator, there's no substitute for testing on device – which means developers will have to work within Apple's prescribed geographical boundary.

... as Mozilla put it – to make it "as painful as possible for others to provide competitive alternatives to Safari."
