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.

Most website-breaking features can be re-enabled in the Settings menu, in a special Librewolf section

    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.

    I need FOSS people to understand that most people will not do that.

    All of these are disableable, very few people will even bother looking into how to disable them. They will stop using the browser.

    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
