"Comet can be steered to extract a stored credential from a user’s 1Password vault and transmit it to an external attacker, operating entirely inside the user’s authenticated browser context."

The other day I was thinking, when will infostealers start collecting information from "AI" browsers.

Today noticed that StealC has posted an update, where they added a feature of collecting Sigma AI Browser data.

''Sigma AI Browser is an AI‑first agentic browser that combines an AI agent, deep research, and AI tools to help you navigate, create, and'' sloooop

Anyways, left to find some time and energy to look for some stealc logs and see if it syphons some more juicy data from "ai" browsers.

2026: Wir leben in einer Welt, in der Überwachung und Datensammlung nicht nur die Norm sind, sondern als Privileg angesehen werden. Der Datenschutz, wie wir ihn einst kannten, ist nicht einfach nur geschwächt, er existiert nicht mehr. Die Grenzen der Privatsphäre sind längst verwischt. Du wirst nicht mehr gefragt, ob du einem Dienst deine Daten geben möchtest. Stattdessen wird dir erzählt, dass du „mit einer Datenfreigabe zur globalen Gemeinschaft - für ein besseres, gerechteres, sichereres und nachhaltigeres Miteinander - beiträgst.“

Le début du billet de Jim Nielsen’s Blog

I don’t have access to the original paper (because I’d have to pay Gartner for it), but the reporting on Gartner’s research says this:
research VP Dennis Xu, senior director analyst Evgeny Mirolyubov, and VP analyst John Watts observe “Default AI browser settings prioritize user experience over security.”
C’mon, let’s call a spade a spade: they prioritize their maker’s business model over #security

Mozilla appoints new CEO as Firefox pivots toward AI browser: Anthony Enzor-DeMeo becomes Mozilla CEO on December 16, 2025, planning to transform Firefox into an AI-powered browser while maintaining user trust and privacy controls. https://ppc.land/mozilla-appoints-new-ceo-as-firefox-pivots-toward-ai-browser/ #Mozilla #AI #Firefox #TechNews #AIbrowser

Mozilla's new CEO promises AI features will be optional, then commits Firefox to becoming an "AI browser" in the same blog post. With Firefox at 2.3% market share (down from 30% in 2009) and 85% revenue dependent on Google, the contradiction reflects deeper strategic confusion. Company has 34 months runway if Google deal ends.

My in-depth review of Perplexity Comet is now live! 🚀

I've shared my honest experience with this AI-powered browser, covering its 'agentic' capabilities, what I genuinely liked, the significant drawbacks (including security concerns like prompt injection), and how it stacks up against my current workflow.

"An indirect prompt injection in an implementation blog can manipulate Antigravity to invoke a malicious browser subagent in order to steal credentials and sensitive code from a user’s IDE.

Google Antigravity is susceptible to data exfiltration via indirect prompt injection through the agentic browser subagent.
Antigravity is Google’s new agentic code editor. In this article, we demonstrate how an indirect prompt injection can manipulate Gemini to invoke a malicious browser subagent in order to steal credentials and sensitive code from a user’s IDE.

Google’s approach is to include a disclaimer about the existing risks, which we address later in the article."

I honestly don't know how people can be so judgmental about a technology. AI is just a tool that can sometimes be very helpful if you trust the users' critical thinking skills and the ability to smell bullshit. Most of the problems associated with AI are just a consequence of shitty business models and a mediocre mode of production (Capitalism).

"Judging by what I see in the comments on the posts about Firefox’s potential AI feature integrations, the apparent path that critics are recommending as an alternative browser is “I’ll yell at you until you stop using ChatGPT”. Consider this post my official notice: that strategy hasn’t worked. And it is not going to work. The only thing that will work is to offer a better alternative to these users. That will involve defining what an acceptably “good” alternative AI looks like, and then building and shipping it to these users, and convincing them to use it. I’m hoping such an effort succeeds. But I can guarantee that scolding people and trying to convince them that they’re not finding utility in the current platforms, or trying to make them feel guilty about the fact that they are finding utility in the current platforms, will not work.

And none of this is exculpatory for my friends at Mozilla. As I’ve said to the good people there, and will share again here, I don’t think the framing of the way this feature has been presented has done either the Firefox team or the community any favors. These big, emotional blow-ups are demoralizing, and take away time and energy and attention that could be better spent getting people excited and motivated to grow for the future."

"The web was designed without the concept of personal identity at all, and without any tracking system built in. It was designed for anybody to be able to create what they want, and even for anybody to be able to make their own web browser. Not long after its invention, people came up with ideas like cookies and made different systems for logging in, and then big companies started coming in and realized that if they could control the browser, they'd control all the users and the ways of making money. Ever since, there's been a long series of battles over privacy versus monetization, but there's been some small protection for users, who benefitted from those smart original design choices back at the birth of the web.

It's very clear that a lot of the new AI era is about dismantling the web's original design. The last few decades, where advertising was targeting people by their interests instead of directly by their actual identity, now sees AI companies trying to create an environment of complete surveillance. That requires a new Internet where there's no concept of consent for either users or those who create content and culture — everything is just raw materials, and all of us are fair game.

The most worrisome part is that Atlas looks so familiar, and feels so innocuous, that people will try it and mistake it for a familiar web browser just like the other tools that they've been using for years. But Atlas is a browser that actively fights against the web, and in doing so, it's fighting against the very idea that you should have control over what you see, where you go, and what watches you while you're there."
