That's it, I am reaching my limit with the 'genAI' stuff.
I moved from #Google to #DuckDuckGo years ago to avoid the privacy issues and avoid supporting a giant company that's destroying the planet - now DuckDuckGo keeps force-feeding me 'AI-assisted answers' that I DO NOT WANT.
I've been using #Firefox for at least 15 years, for the same reasons, now I update #Firefox and "what's new with Firefox" you wonder? Well Firefox has a "new sidebar" that lets you "keep your AI assistant handy" - an "AI assistant" that I DO NOT WANT.
Stop force-feeding us useless, invasive, energy-hungry 'AI' that nobody is asking for!
Any suggestions for a No-AI equivalent to Duckduckgo? As for browser, I'm going to move on to #Vivaldi.
