While this is a good feature for noobs (you definitely want to leave it on for your parents or other clueless family members and friends), most of us here don't want this or need it. It runs a local LLM in the browser and monitors your browsing to look for Scamware pop-ups. There's a performance cost as well as some privacy concerns.

While l not mentioned in the article, this is also being implemented in Chrome, and may also appear in other chromium browsers.

I quit using any Chromium based browsers including Brave which was pretty good when first released. I only use FireFox and LibreFox as a backup to FireFox.

These Chromium browsers leave so much junk behind, I just got tired of dealing with it. Just look in your user\username\appdata\local\temp folder. Also, the built in DiskCleanup tool does not delete any of these junk files that will accumulate quickly. When I was having issues with Steam and one of my games, I was shocked to discover over 1,000 temp files and log files in that location.
