What if we had local vector search on our web browser history (the content as it was displayed)? That would be radical. I'm wondering why browser vendors don't scramble to create the personal vector database. It could be integrated through a browser extension to insert local results when doing regular web searches, or provide context for a speech based personal assistant. Having a neural net at hand could also prove useful in semantic filtering of webpages (hide or highlight content) and curating your news feeds.


Agree that this would be super helpful
