Which non-self-hosted, privacy-focused AI chat bot would you recommend? Brave’s Leo can’t be used in any browser other than Brave , I’m using a different browser.

Is it possible to allow DRM content for just 1 website ( Netflix ) , while other websites on the same browsers are not allowed to do it?

Librewolf is not auto-updating and its too hard for me to find how to update it , is Mercury autoupdating? How do you compare Mercury and Zen to Llibrewolf or Arkenfox?
I decided to ask few questions in one post, because I tried to post something here multiple times and after I click Create ( the post ) , it just keeps loading , so if I will be able to finally publish a post , I will just need to get lucky once instead of 4 times for 4 questions.

4 - mullvad is auto-updating, if you want to replace libreWolf
Are you aware of lemmy.world blocking VPN connections? Might be the reason you aren’t able to post most of the time.

I would use multiple firefox profiles for this. If you go to
about:profilesor use the commandfirefox -Pto launch firefox, you can view and create other firefox profiles. Each firefox profile is essentially it’s own instance of firefox, complete with different history, extensions, and setting. You could have a “Netflix” profile and a regular browsing profile.- There is no batch delete function. However, if you delete the channel and there are no users inside, the channel will be auto deleted from all records after a week or so. At least for Matrix.org channels.
4 - my LibreWolf updates just fine with Flatpak. What’s up with yours?
Flatpak weakens the security/isolation of Librewolf (and any browser). Since you are in Linux, you might as well use the distro repo, which will update whenever you update.
How dos it weaken the isolation?
The distro repo will update never. I have to balance being up to date with security vulnerabilities.
Flatpak doesnt let the browser use its normal sandboxing for process isolation using user namespaces. Read more here or search on the web for “flatpak weaken browser security”: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/security-problems-with-flatpak-browsers-firefox-chromium-bubblejail-seccomp-user-namespaces/121109/5
That’s a lot to unpack there (ba-dum-ts!). So Firefox has a specific Flatpak version that has a bigger attack surface? Or am I getting it wrong? A good bit of it flew over my head TBH.
Basically, Flatpak stops Firefox from using its normal security measures for isolation. Librewolf (a fork of Firefox) has the same problems resulting from Flatpak.
Also, what do you mean the distro repo will update never? You just type the update command (eg.
sudo dnf update -y) and software gets updated. If you dont like manually typing command, just set it up to auto run at boot.Oh I’m proficient at the CLI. I just run a stable distro with a few Flatpaks for some select apps. So the packaged version of LW is quite out of date.
generally speaking, just avoid AI as a whole.
1 - Maybe try to use https://duck.ai it’s open source model hosted by duckduckgo
2 - Element is not the way to go for sensitive infos, it’s like a discord replacement in the way of joining public groups, not really a good messenger for really secure and bulletproof 1:1, recommanding Signal or even better SimpleX
4 - Use Mullvad.
