I haven’t experienced this behavior. Can you provide a URL for me to test against.

Thanks for taking the time I didn’t initially have to provide context.

Also if privacy is more of a goal you can self host a search engine with searxng

Waterfox? Fennec-about-it!

Thanks to @acockworkorange@mander.xyz for the context below.

The settings that Mozilla packaged in were the main big ones, Claude, ChatGPT etc, it didn’t look like any of them were locally hosted or even if a locally hosted model could be chose. Local AI… where the model itself and all the token are processed on either your own machine or another machine controlled by you certainly isn’t violating privacy, but as I said the choices on offer were none of these.

LibreWolf by default gets rid of anything that seeks to abuse your right to privacy, you won’t even find Google or Bing in your search engine. Naturally this will also apply to AI providers. Unfortunately, at the moment, we can’t trust Mozilla and by extension with AI items so these things were removed. That doesn’t mean you can’t install third party AI extensions.

Also you can host your own search engine for even more privacy.
