I'll keep using LibreWolf as my main browser while keeping an eye on Ladybird with my fingers crossed.

I just checked my Librewolf settings:

This stuff is ml chat is off by default.

Without having much knowledge of AI models beyond surface level stuff I read, but a good understanding on how computers work it seems fairly predictable to me that running an AI model in the browser session locally would be CPU intensive. As such you would think as a developer you would start with adding the feature as off by default, so users that want it can turn it on and you can get some real world metrics on how bad that hit is going to be before bending the entire user base over the AI kitchen table so to speak.

So both doing it for something as trivial as tab grouping and making it something you have to go into about:config to disable seems really stupid.

Is that what the FUCK has been happening? I've been having tabs just BLOW Up in ram and CPU usage

You can just ..turn it off tho.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 32 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It should not be on by default and you should not have to go into about:config to turn it off.

Yeah I don't like ai stuff. And I certainly don't need AI to group my tabs. I can do that myself just fine.
