LOL "here, we've enhanced our browser with all these features you didn't ask for, all AI!

Also, here's our GREAT NEW FEATURE, a way to turn off all those new features!"

Starting with Firefox 148, which rolls out on Feb. 24, you'll find a new Al
controls section within the desktop browser settings. It provides a single place
to block current and future generative Al features in Firefox. You can also
review and manage individual Al features if you choose to use them. This lets
you use Firefox without Al while we continue to build Al features for those who
want them. — Starting with Firefox 148, which rolls out on Feb. 24, you'll find a new Al controls section within the desktop browser settings.

AI controls is coming to Firefox

AI is changing the web, and people want very different things from it. We’ve heard from many who want nothing to do with AI. We’ve also heard from

Well, Hallelujah.

"The browser maker this week announced a new set of AI controls for Firefox, headlined by a global kill switch that lets users disable every current and future AI feature in one go."

Alright. So. A few things.

The right time to give me a choice in whether or not unasked 'AI' 'features' were shoved down my throat was before you did the shoving
Making everyone refer to obscure guides that involve bypassing scare warnings in order to turn those features off is phenomenally bad user experience
The unasked for, unwanted 'AI' features you've been shoving down our throats behave — from a user perspective — similar to cryptojacking in that their computer suddenly performs very poorly without transparency to the user about why or a choice about turning it off (again, the wrong time to ask is after you've already done the bad thing)
I am not signing up for yet another god damn thing just so I can tell you so

The browser that gives you a say

AI controls give you more say in how you move across the web.

We believe choice is more important than ever as AI becomes a part of people’s browsing experiences. What matters to us is giving people control, no matter how they feel about AI.

If you’d like to try AI controls early, they’ll be available first in Firefox Nightly. We’d love to hear what you think on Mozilla Connect. — The browser that gives you a say AI controls give you more say in how you move across the web.

Mozilla is adding a toggle to disable all generative "AI" features in Firefox. It shows that organized pushback is actually making a difference.

One battle won. Now let's make it crystal clear. We want tools, not forced LLMs. Keep the pressure on until "AI" is no longer an option.

There have been exactly two innovations in web browsers in the last 16 years:

1. "Show Reader Automatically" in 2010;
2. "Hide Distracting Items" in 2024.

Everything else has either been a waste of goddamned time, or actively malicious. Mostly the latter.

Hey #Mozilla, we'd really like a "hide distracting items" feature for #Firefox too!

Mozilla: More AI bullshit, coming right up!
