  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. https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/iR6R7-nQeHI/m/gb9zDAMqAwAJ?pli=1

  @FrutigerAero00 @cygnathreadbare *Sigh*... I don't know why @alternativeto did me so dirty, this has absolutely *nothing* to do with Brave. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2013888 The library is already in the Firefox codebase (as are a million other open source libraries)... I've extended it to block ads as well as trackers.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/115974050817264132 This is why I drew a line in the sand. The industry wants to turn the browser into a concierge between you and the web, interpreting and filtering your reality. They call it delegation - I call it a loss of agency. A browser should be a tool you wield, not something that makes decisions for you. @arstechnica@mastodon.social maybe worth mentioning us as an alternative ;)
