Starting with Firefox 148, which rolls out on Feb. 24, you’ll find a new AI controls section within the desktop browser settings. It provides a single place to block current and future generative AI features in Firefox.
They actually listened to the community, thats very nice.
Let’s pull some obvious ones from the feature list!
For some other ones:
I’m not saying I don’t like these features. I do. I only accept login cookies from services I host myself.
Most people will see that as an extreme annoyance the first time it happens, close the browser, uninstall it, and never try another Firefox fork again.
Most people care enough about privacy to want convenient ways to increase it. Most people do not care enough about privacy to have to log into Facebook every single time they restart their browser.
All of these are disableable, very few people will even bother looking into how to disable them. They will stop using the browser.
Interesting word

Nice. That’s definitely good enough for both of us.
Most website-breaking features can be re-enabled in the Settings menu, in a special Librewolf section
I need FOSS people to understand that most people will not do that.
Also I did say that
You have no dispute from me there. I just figured I would mention it to people who are already knowledgeable enough that a few switches won’t bother them - people already in this thread, probably not on the street
Ahh, fair. I generally see that as a justification for recommending it to the general public, sorry xD
