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.
You must log in or # to comment.
Note this is only for Firefox proper. The forks are AI free as long as the devs of said forks keep it that way (Libre Wolf my personal recommendation.)
Librewolf is Firefox for thoughtful people. It might cause a few aggravations at times, but thoughtful people understand that is not Librewolf’s fault, that is at the very least shitty apathy and usually malicious intent on behalf of the vast majority of websites on the internet. It does a pretty good job making things work anyway despite the evil, but it’s really not Librewolf’s fault that it doesn’t submit to evil by default.
I use Zen. (For features that are harder to use in other spins.) I’ve had generally good experience.
But are these current and future degenerative AI features going to be opt-in or opt-out? 'Cause if the latter, they’ll still be sticking AI into random things and hoping we don’t notice.
Did you try reading the article? Because they clearly answer your question.
The controls allow you to block all future AI features as well, so you will never see new AI stuff.
That’s what it says, yes, and that’s genuinely laudable (especially if the control defaults to “block”).
But what companies say now and what companies say in the future are different things, no? I mean I could be trite and point to Google’s “don’t be evil” … so I will.
