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:

Software stack: Linux > Docker Container > Nvidia Runtime > Open WebUI > Ollama > Llama 3.1

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

Open WebUI: https://docs.openwebui.com/

Ollama: https://hub.docker.com/r/ollama/ollama

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.

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

Even they choose to do so in future, usually there always is a about:config entry to disable it.

It's an add-on, not something baked-in the browser. It's not on your property at the first place, unless you choose to install it 🙂

In such scenario you need to host your choice of LLM locally.

I came here to tell my tiny Raspberry pi 4 consumes ~10 watt, But then after noticing the home server setup of some people and the associated power consumption, I feel like a child in a crowd of adults 😀

Remember NOT to store any private data or login to any account as this VM is not hosted on your system.

Use this server just to test out distros quickly.
