TL;DR: Mozilla recently released AI controls for Firefox: a single control panel that lets people disable AI features in the browser or pick and choose which to leave on. On the surface, this sounds like a win for user choice in an era of AI-everything.
If we dig deeper, you can start to see that the kill switch isn’t the whole story. This feature acts like an accountability sink. By giving you an off-switch, Mozilla’s leadership shifts the ethical burden of AI onto the user - turning their design choices into your responsibility.
I disagree. Being able to choose which llm features I want is a win, and being able to use a local llm to translate language is better than sending data to Google to do that.
Vivaldi for the win?
No AI crap at all
Closed source Chromium sounds like fun.

The UI is proprietary.
Yes, exactly.
