I'll never understand why people feel so strongly about features like this and that they have to be opt-in. I don't use bookmarks. Should those be opt-in? What about the other 85% of the browser's features I don't use?

The bookmarks feature doesn't silently connect to their servers in the background to function. The supposed local-only features like translations will download at least model updates and configuration, which leaks metadata.

> I don't use bookmarks. Should those be opt-in? You can choose not to use bookmarks, remove the bar reserved for it, and it’s taking up kilobytes in the background. Can’t say the same about shoving an LLM in a browser. But sure, I’m much closer to the extreme of “make bookmarks a plug-in” than “make everything a default”.
