I'm worried that this will require yet another config change on top of the already-ridiculous pile. (A listing was discussed 3 months ago at >>45696752 )

It's not an LLM but it is a tiny pre-trained ML model running inside the browser. Funded by the EU and made in partnership with a few European universities as well: https://mozilla.github.io/translations/docs/

Their level of acceptance for releasing a new model (AKA new language support) is to benchmark within 5% difference of Google Translate, basically proving you don't need an external party to do good-enough translations for you. It's like the coolest thing they worked on recently.

You should probably look into https://justthebrowser.com/. This software sets up browser corporate policies to achieve exactly what you want.

A coworker (hi Robert!) created his own version of Firefox that doesn’t suck, with sane defaults and keyboard centric: https://github.com/glide-browser/glide

Pretty impressive project, and it’s really nice to use, I would recommend to give it a try

If I'm not mistaken, no need to use Privacy Badger if you're already using uBlock Origin and Firefox Total Cookie Protection. https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1d3so6g/should_i_u...

Nah, Privacy Badger is different. PB doesn't use ad blocker lists and comes with its own special features like replacing tweets with click-to-activate placeholders. And if you want to block all ads, PB works well in combination with ad blockers.

As for Firefox’s Total Cookie Protection, cookies are not the only tracking vector: https://privacybadger.org/#Is-Privacy-Badger-compatible-with...

By getting you run run arbitrary code when in the end all is does is install this policy file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/just-the-b...

Maybe we need a justtheconfig.com

I can give you a couple of examples:

1.

I recently made an extension to "bookmark data". It's an auto scraper, but client side.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lidar/eckcmnibplmme...

The user has to pick the elements so the extension knows which selectors to track across similar pages.

While developing it, I imagined a near future in which a small enough model could do that for me.

In fact, if I had the resources, I could probably train one specifically for that and use webnn or onnx or something to deliver it.

2.

I also made a quick drum beat generator https://alganet.github.io/quick-beats/

One of the things I wanted to do is improved beat detection. Several music apps have some sort of tempo detection (you tap on the desk and the microphone catches it and figures out the tempo).

While I can certainly use audio analysis to do that, it has its limits. If I wanted to detect a full drum pattern (the user taps on different objects for kick and snare, and the app fills them), something machine-learny sounds much more appropriate for the job.

---

Your poke at the issue "for what? summarising web pages?" is valid though. While I don't have the resources to train those models I mentioned, the resulting weights should be fairly compatible with todays consumer hardware.

I blame the complete and utter lack of imagination of small-to-mid AI labs for the missing variety in that space.

It results in people not being very creative in imagining valid, non-shitty spammy marketing ways of using AI. They exist though.
