    The sidebar chatbots is something you have to explicitly interact with, so no it’s not using remote LLMs without your input. Every other feature is local.

      I know it’s not using them without my input, what I’m saying is that there should be a local option.

        A local option with enough sophistication to impress anyone would have terrible performance on the vast majority of PCs and laymen would takeaway a bad impression without understanding why

          A laymen won’t be able to point Firefox at their local LLM installation that they don’t have, to be able to have any impression.
