I've not heard about what you're saying, so I'd like to learn more.

Their AI system will collect zero data, though, and run entirely locally. And that's what this is about.

Like it or not, this is a hyped feature that people want. The cat's out of the bag. It's not a feature that I want, but it is one the market wants.

It's good to have a privacy-respecting option when we all know in a few years the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Apple will dominate the market. And we know that they won't respect our privacy.

Here's a breakdown from one of Mozilla's AI divisions. Their current product collects data and already has it:

Category of Personal Information Collected Third Parties to Whom Personal Information is Sold/Shared
browsing history Advertising partners, Service providers
search history Advertising partners, Service providers
your device's precise location Advertising partners, Service providers
a profile about a consumer Advertising partners, Service providers
records of personal property, products or services purchased Advertising partners, Service providers
