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.

How about they just... not include the LLM bullshit in the first place? Just make a browser that strictly renders text and images according to W3C standards?

    When chrome came out, it was pretty much that. Super fast, very bare bones. But people loved it because of the speed and the simplicity.

    Im curious how Orion will turn out. There is supposed to be an alpha for Linux coming out now this February.

    The only LLM here is the chatbot which nobody is being forced to use.

    The fact that it's part of the browser at all is a problem. It shouldn't ever be in a browser. All it should be is a tool to strictly download and render W3C compliant text and images. Everything else should be a unique program - and no, Electron is not "unique" - it's just another copy of an awful browser.
