    The fact is that an AI assistant could also be quite useful at times, but people have to understand how the core functioning of a browser works (i.e. for the vast majority of things you use a search engine, not a chatbot), and its paramount to have a local AI for such services, in order to guarantee privacy and affordability

    We bringing back the Netscape Navigator business plan?! Because that didn’t work out so well for Netscape.

    “This is different because AI!”

    Business ideas like this share a thing with lemmy; They all overestimate how tech savvy people are. I could knock every door on the block and ask for opinions on AI and the only person who might have a clue is the young guy next door who does IT for the county. Everyone else would have no idea what I was asking or have a wildly misinformed opinion.

    This guy is a web3 leader, agile coach, and he has a “Master of Science in Leadership & Organizational Behavior.” Not a scammer at all.

    And paying $20 a month to search for slop recipes and have your private data stolen is very cheap.

      Opera did ditch their own browser engine long time back and are now just a skin on Chromium [like many other browsers]. Opera, for some reason, has multiple browsers running. Neon isn’t their main offering as of now. They technically have Opera GX [gaming focused version] and Opera Air [released some months earlier though I haven’t used the latter] as well.

        But they literally got bought up, and (IIRC) the main Opera devs moved to Vivaldi.

        Opera, as it exists now, is literally just a just capitalizing on the old browser’s name recognition.

          Which is kind of funny. It barely had any name recognition at all, and for the die hards still on board, they all tracked the nuance of the situation and either gave up or went to Vivaldi.

    I want you to pay me twenty dollars a month. The difference is I won’t get in your way like AI.
