First Pocket and Fakespot, now this.
I demoed it when it came out and found its summaries to be faster but less accurate than Kagi's universal summarizer.

I did not see it coming/s
I get the feeling they're starting to bunker down in case google stops funding them
It's not "in case". The court ruling has been pretty clear that Google can't fund them anymore. That doesn't matter to Google, because they own the W3C & the Linux Foundation now. The antitrust came too late and it's taking too long.
Google needs to be broken up, yesterday. Their overwhelming grip on the Internet needs to broken hard.
And then we need to shut Cloudflare down.
What did Cloudflare do?

? Where are you seeing this?
Cloudflare hosts half the Internet. That's a huge problem, and monopolistic. I'm opposed to the centralization on its own, I'm even more opposed to it being controlled by a corporate entity.
I'm very okay with Mozilla killing this off, considering it had some janky behavior and had more outgoing data requests than was necessary. Initially, it pointed users to FakeSpot, as if it was using the same privacy policy and servers too.
It does explicitly use Google servers.
It was Yet Another AI Chatbot hosted on Yet Another Cloud Server, which is worse for privacy and longevity than anything that runs locally anyway.
