By prioritizing AI-mediated interactions, browsers risk distancing users from the raw, unfiltered web, potentially limiting their autonomy.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>He argues that this shift not only diminishes the user experience but also hands over significant control to tech giants.

The company prides itself on offering a highly customizable, privacy-focused browsing experience, and von Tetzchner emphasizes that any future AI implementation would need to align with these values.
