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.

Using dev edition is the equivalent of sudo.

Firefox can just install an extension from clicking a link, combine that with tech illiterate people just panic-clicking "ok" on every popup, that really is an attack vector.

I mean, billions of people click yes on a "hey we're gonna take all your data and sell it to everyone, are you okay with that?" screen multiple times a day...

    Again. You are saying you shouldn't be able to install applications on your computer.

    I mean, if that's what you believe. I don't. I think I should be able to decide what I run and where I run it.

    Especially if the company thinks of itself as open source.
