Brave has introduced a new AI browsing feature that leverages Leo, its privacy-respecting AI assistant, to perform automated tasks for the user.
I just dont get having an LLM browse the internet for you.
Like i get the internet is dead thing but, its truly dead if you cant even bother to explore it yourself.

Me too :(
I think at this point every non-gpl-licensed business will likely at some point just become a corrupted orphan crushing machine
privacy-respecting AI assistant
lol
Very simple to opt out of using it in the settings.
It appears that they share the complete inability to comprehend “consent” of every other techbrodouche.
If you go into settings and see how easy it is to turn off, and you know, read the TOU, they’ve actually made it exceedingly easy to consent or revoke consent as one wishes.
But then again you probably don’t actually use it and don’t know that.
You are missing the fucking point. (Meaning you are probably one of the techbrodouches.)
Consent is positive, not negative.
Here’s an experiment for you. Walk up to a strange woman you find attractive and grab her ass. When, not if, she reacts negatively, tell her it’s OK: if she doesn’t want her ass grabbed she can just ask you to let go. See how well that goes over as you explain your “opt-out” philosophy to a judge. THAT is the “Brave” model here. Inflict the thing someone doesn’t want and say “oh, but it’s easy to ask me to stop”.
No. That is not the right way to navigate consent.
The right way to navigate it is to ask before grabbing the ass. Do that and you might get scolding, ejected from the club, whatever but you’re not going to wind up in jail for sexual assault. Or, in this case, do this before you turn on the AI features. Make the consent positive, not negative.
But you knew that already. You just get your jollies from forcing undesired things on people, right?
It seems you share the same understanding of consent.
LOL
Have a nice Saturday, friend.
Article says you have to manually turn it on in the settings.
Something must have changed in that case. (Maybe due to EU regulations?)
I had to opt out of it back when I turned those settings off. Still though, very easy to do. They’re not hiding it like Microsoft or Google.
No pop up to opt out when it’s installed = not easy to do when most people are tech illiterate.
opt out
Fuck this very, very much

if you have to use chromium, use vivaldi. european and strictly against ai in browser.
thanks, I used Brave for some MIDI stuff that Firefox doesn’t seem to like, I’ll switch
Vivaldi has been my browser of choice for many months now, absolutely fantastic!
If anyone is surprised by this, why are you? 😂
I use LibreWolf👌✨
Librewolf still have AI inherited from Firefox
Although I’d still use that browser.
Edit: not everything is removed. AI chat bot? Gone. That one LLM to name your tab groups? Still there
They didn’t remove the llm to name your tab group tho
At least that one is local only.
What about Zen?
They don’t strip it out? I think Waterfox is doing that now, which is another good alternative.
Surprised it took them this long.
