- I'm a kagi fan, but my family members who I've had try orion ran into quite a few issues. Might be worth trying one of these with regular safari:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ublock-origin-lite/id674534269...
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wipr-2/id1662217862
on android I use firefox with the regular ublock origin extension
- are you on android or iOS?
- please just try TLS
- last I checked, firefox doesn't download AI models unless you try to use a (clearly-labeled) feature that requires them. you can also manage/uninstall them at about:addons
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/on-device-models
totally uncharitable interpretation of the quote linked here aside, how is providing an interface for using fully local models not user first software?
- I didn't read it that way. I read it as him acknowledging that would be a poor choice and therefore that mozilla won't do it.
- the content itself is also LLM-generated. go ahead, just say what you mean.
- unlikely, at least not during this generation. even putting aside the current admin, the US has (to put it extremely lightly) long failed to police its own and certain "allies'" behavior, which undermines the concept altogether.
at this point, there are unfortunately no "good guys" at the state level.
- generations
- all of the content on your site is clearly LLM-generated
- fair enough. I'll add that one fantastic use I've found for LLMs is quickly checking the source of a given addon (though obviously this is no replacement for a real audit or finely-grained permissions).
I'd be doing this type of thing a lot more if browsers didn't make it difficult to load unpacked addons (in which case I could be modifying things I didn't like on the fly).
- very interesting. thanks for sharing!
- is everyone designing their own silicon getting so much additional them-specific utility out of it that it's actually worth it?
- at least on firefox, you can also just disallow automatic updates
- brutal. I just typed out a much longer response and lost it when my time wasting extension saw the url change (time for a text area cache extension?)

they currently (PRs are welcome!) only check listing info. mine doesn't route requests through an external (non addon store) server.
a couple PRs are overdue on mine due to linting making the diffs impossible. I'll get to it. (see the wxt-migration branch)
- out of curiosity, what's the motivation behind trying to reduce your extension usage everywhere?
- had to uninstall this right away. among other things, every key shortcut is already in use elsewhere (and they cannot be changed)
for reference: alt+shift+s, alt+shift+u, and alt+shift+d
- just a heads up: the verification emails land in spam
- the former

if for some reason you want to use webkit on desktop (linux), there's always gnome web, but in my experience it can't handle anything beyond very basic browsing (for example, a youtube video will cause it to crash)
