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.

    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”).
