I like playing around with them occasionally, but I only use local models. I cannot stand all the cloud stuff in general and with the way neural nets work you can get as good or better results out of a smaller/more narrow model and the same applies to LLMs.
The massive models the big companies are putting out there are generally just bad. Even if it can occasionally give you accurate output, for whatever it is you are asking it to do, it uses way more power and resources than reasonable and you could have found what you were looking for with a simple web search.

Not working for me, OpenAI still exists :D
Iceraven is my go to Android browser, librewolf on desktop.
Yeah saw this morning, turned the kill switch on immediately.
Wait so where is this AI on my firefox? I haven't seen anything, is it running by default, and what's it doing?
How do I shut it down then? Everyone hates AI so I don't understand what mozilla had to gain by bringing in AI, or what they had it doing in the first place?
- Local translation which only happens when you trigger it I believe (and is cool)
- Smart tab groups which i don't think anyone cares about and only happens when you ask it to
- Link previews which I think happens on link hover which is undesirable if you don't want to accidentally do it (edit: see correction in reply)
- A sidebar chatbot integration which you'd have to use on purpose
- Someone said perplexity in search engine options which you'd have to do on purpose
Link previews happen if you hold click on a link or choose it in the right click menu. By default it shows pretty much just the title of the page and a banner asking you to enable ai summaries.
It's kinda annoying, but not because of the ai. And you can easily disable it

Same as everyone else
