Exactly the same rationale as mine.

Users are only shown Big Tech “3rd-party” options. Mozilla made this choice intentionally.

Well, how many users really have LLM local-hosted?

To be honest, I never tried publicly available instances of any privacy front-ends (SearxNG, Nitter, Redlib etc.). I always self-host and route all such traffic via VPN.

My initial issue with SearxNG was with the default selection of search engines. Default inclusion of Qwant engine caused irrelevant and non-english results to return. Currently my selection is limited to Google, Bing and Brave as DDG takes around 2 sec to return result (based on the VPN server location I'm using).

If you still remember the error messages, I might help to help fix that.

Though it is an off-topic but what exact issues you faced with SearxNG?

[–] KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

On Ubuntu, replacing Firefox/Thunderbird snap version with actual deb version.

The built-in AI staff,you referred to, is nothing but an accelerator to integrate with 3rd-party or self-hosted LLMs. It's quite similar to choosing a search engine in settings. This feature itself is lightweight and can be disabled in settings if not required.

But pocket can be disabled via about:config, right?

I thought that’s how all those soft forks handled that mess.

You may self-host SearxNG (via Docker) and avoid direct interaction with search engines - be it google, bing, Brave or DDG.

SearxNG will act as a privacy front-end for you.

This is just an add-on BTW. It's completely up to you to decide if you need this.

My (docker based) configuration:

Hardware: i5-13600K, Nvidia 3070 ti (8GB), 32 GB RAM

Docker: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

Nvidia Runtime for docker: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html

No, but the “AI” option available on Mozilla Lab tab in settings allows you to integrate with self-hosted LLM.

I have this setup running for a while now.

[–] KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

BTW, Lab option works better privacy wise (than Add-on) if you have LLM running locally, IMO.
