"Artificial Intelligence" started to gain widespread interest and public use in 2022. ChatGPT made it possible for anyone to generate lots of text based on short written prompts, and image generation tools that are based on written prompts started to both amaze and perturb people everywhere.
Since then, under the general term "Artificial Intelligence", these technologies have started to crop up in lots of online tools, including Search Engines and Web Browsers. Not every one likes this trend, and a lot of people are now looking for web browsers that remain free of "AI".
This page is regularly updated to keep a track of what browsers don't have any of these "AI" "features", and which don't have "chat bots" build directly into them. Corrections and additions are very welcome.
Yes; there are definitely web browsers that don't incorporate "AI" in them. You can still use these browsers to load a website that runs a Chatbot, but these browsers don't have anything like that built directly into them.
And more importantly, the browsers in this list are ones where the manufactuerers have specifically made a public statement that they are intentionally not adding "AI" to their browser.
The makers of Vivaldi have taken a strong stance against including AI in their web browser and they won't be adding AI to the Vivaldi browser.
You can read an article by them about this: Why Vivaldi won’t follow the current AI trend.
Orion - the browser by the Kagi search engine - doesn't have any AI built into it. Kagi search does have an "AI summary" option tucked away in their search engine, but they haven't forced any of it into their browser.
Pale Moon is an open source browser which works to preserve older browser technologies (such as NPAPI and Legacy XUL Extensions), as well as older versions of operating systems; such as Windows 7 and OS X 10.7.
The Pale Moon developers have made a direct announcement that they won't be adding any "AI" features to Pale Moon. You can read their full AI press release on their user forums.
Well, at this point, it seems that all the other Major browsers have some amount of "AI" built in to them - whether it's a GPT chat interface that's been shoe-horned in, or actually using some kind of neural network to help you organise your browser tabs - the makers of just about every browser seem to be jumping on the bandwagon. So there won't be a list of browsers that have AI.
This is what I've been able to find out about AI in web browsers, additions and corrections are welcome.
And if you're looking to explore your options regarding which web browser you use; I've started a new site called "Web Browser Directory" - it has a big list of web browsers which you can explore and search, to find exactly the sort of browser that does what you want. Check it out!
