The question I have is, why should your browser also be the interface to local AI models? Seems totally unrelated to be honest.
FYI for those not aware: Vivaldi(1) is the new "true Opera". The original Opera sold in 2016 to "a Chinese consortium"(2) 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivaldi_(web_browser) 2: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/11/business/dealbook/china-o...
That's a rather xenophobic take to be stating so loudly. Is there any reason to believe that being associated with Chinese intrinsically makes it lesser? Edit: they're all chromium anyways.

"The most controversial sections of the law include Article 7 which potentially compels businesses registered or operating in the People's Republic of China to hand over information to Chinese intelligence agencies such as the MSS and to conceal the fact that they do so." [1]
Browsers are for browsing internet. So many of them are now turning into bloatware..

From my understanding it comes from a law passed that allows unlimited access by state intelligence services in China to any firms customer data.

The same laws apply to American companies for American data requested by American agencies, is that better? And likely Norwegian too, but I don't know the specifics there.

The US even went so far to demand that US intelligence has domain over data no matter where it's stored, and supremacy when it conflicts with local laws https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/29/us-court-....
If you're in the US you could make an argument that it's fine because it's your own government -- which I don't really buy because China can't arrest you over here -- but to everyone else US tech and business should be just as toxic as China if that's the real motivation.

I use Vivaldi every day, and like it very much.
I actually just submitted something quite relevant - a side project we soft-launched today that uses LLMs to analyse and group browser tabs across various browsers and devices. It turns out that it’s super demanding for today’s models, but with some optimisations and experimentation, we made it work pretty well. Running local LLMs might be a heavy order currently to get the job done, but in the near future I don't se…
