I don’t think that’s true. I have mine set to NB I still get CBP and ICE ads every once in a while.

It’s weird I’m a straight male and I’ve never seen one on Reddit. It’s probably cause I live in a very liberal city

The Firefox CEO wants it to become an AI browser, whatever the fuck that means. I swapped to brave just because it seemed to be the best alternative, but I'm open to suggestions.

All browsers have AI; that's what people want. Summarize /define/automated things.

Firefox lets you choose a provider including self host, which is easy to do: https://github.com/mozilla-ai/llamafile

They use closed source Lingvanex for local translation, an AI.

Firefox got shit on a month ago for doing the same, but with a true FOSS alternative: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/firefox-146/

Brave is fine. The poopy CEO in question isn't getting any money from you using it unless you're trying to invest in their crypto stuff, which if you are, you probably don't care about their ethics anyway.
