That depends on the fork/derivative maintainer’s decision. The UI is open source, but it connects to proprietary models, except for hugging face.

  1. And Mistral
  2. Additionally, for semi-advanced users, Firefox includes the ability to connect to your own locally hosted model OR to connect to a custom cloud provider of your choice. (these settings are found in about:config)

I’ve used Firefox’s AI sidebar with:

  1. Locally hosted open and open-ish models (e.g. Mistral Nemo, Llama 8B, ) [1]
  2. Cloud hosted open models from various hosting providers [2]
  3. I currently have it set to Duck.ai, and I use Llama 3 70B. Previously I was using locally hosted Llama 8B, but my system is too underpowered for that to be convenient.

In most cases, I assume so. Most Firefox derivatives are essentially “Firefox + a few changes”. So typically things that are available to Firefox are available to derivatives of Firefox unless the derivative takes steps to explicitly exclude something and prevent users from changing it. I know that Firefox’s AI sidebar feature can be used in both Zen and Librewolf, not sure about other browsers.

  1. Relevant about:config preference: browser.ml.chat.hideLocalhost set to false ↩︎

  2. relevant about:config preference: browser.ml.chat.provider set to the URL of your choice ↩︎

Anonymous AI service

The World isn´t going to stop using AI just because you are against it, you can stop using it if you want but China and other dictatorships aren´t going to stop developing AI for their own advantage regardless of what other countries do.

Big red flag when a service says it is “encrypted” while clearly your requests will be read by the provider.

I’m going to consider this topic completed for our purposes. Additional AI tools (whether local or cloud) should be individually suggested in separate threads going forward.
