On desktop I use Mercury Browser - a Firefox fork - but I'm not sure how " privacy focused " it is other than that it's Firefox based

On Android I use Brave Browser , because it meets my needs , while it was good compared to other browsers in privacy tests , I still won't recommend it 100% for privacy for the following reason ( unless you're ok with changing some settings to make it more private ) :

If you care about your privacy , you can read this browser check series for both desktop and mobile ( in German , you might need a translator ) by security expert Kuketz , the rest of the browsers are linked in the same page

All of them unless I'm asleep while putting my phone on silent mode , or listening to the lecture , or I didn't hear the ringtone

Now I have a below-zero empathy towards Hollywood and recording industry... thank you so much for this

I know, but won't I need to download the models in the app in order to run it locally ?

The examples I know are officially published by their orginial developers

In 2024 , AI still can't answer " how many Rs are there in Strawberry " currectly...

Sure , indeed there are some foss app that are the same as you described

I'm indeed open to the idea if it's locally hosted but ollama isn't available in my country... I'll search if there's a LLM that isn't an ollama fork

I tried it many times but it consumed more data & resources than brave

Brave ... nothing else suits my needs

Unfortunately it won't work , everybody I know run apps that isn't available on Linux. .. I know alternatives exist but it's not enough for everybody , especially college students who are training on important apps in their feilds.

If so , then I feel at home in Linux
