Submission + - Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features (9to5linux.com) 2
An anonymous reader writes: From a report on 9to5Linux.com:
"On Tuesday, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo was named the new CEO of Mozilla Corporation, the company behind the beloved Firefox web browser used by almost all GNU/Linux distributions as the default browser."
"In his message as new CEO, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo stated that Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software while remaining the company’s anchor, and that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions."
"What was not made clear is that Firefox will also ship with an AI kill switch that will let users completely disable all the AI features that are included in Firefox. Mozilla shared this important update earlier today to make it clear to everyone that Firefox will still be a trusted web browser."

Do the clankers features not burn a lot of their money?
Wouldn't that money be better spent on more useful features, squashing bugs, and paying their people?
Neeve enough analytics? (Score:2)
A global switch would be better than the current state of having to dig into about:config and find all the toggles.
Still, at this point, it's less effort for me to start playing with various forks that have better default settings.
As always, re-evaluate regularly.
