Very good news, this would have raised a major red flag for me if I went to use their browser and saw any AI integrations.
- BeetleB 11mo agoThe AI integrations, AFAIK, work only if you provide an API key.
- icepat 11mo agoYes, however it still means that the browser is phoning home to somewhere. To be able to make use of that API key, it has to send some data out. Is that data routed over TOR? Does it even matter given that an API key can be used to deanonymize you?
- BeetleB 11mo agoMy understanding (and this may have changed), is that you have to initiate the AI features each time (e.g. clicking on "Summarize This"). But yes, your point is valid. For Tor, if you enter an API key, you could be identified. Still, does the Tor Browser prevent you from installing addons which are no more secure than these AI features? It didn't years ago - not sure if that's changed.
- unethical_ban 11mo agoIf you don't put in an API key, does it try to connect?
- icepat 11mo agoI don't want to have to ask questions like this when using a browser that is intended to anonymize me
