    I wonder what the variable name is so I can add a line to my user.js. Usually stuff like this can be changed with a setting in user.js.

    Edit: apparently there are a lot of such variables, and I think I have already turned off a few of them. I don’t see what’s new then, other than a UI for this. If you have to turn all these off, how can they talk about it this way…?

      Mozilla promises that if you flip this switch, they won’t keep surprising you with new AI features.

        Well the need for all those other settings apparently nullifies that idea. Unless the people recommending that I turn off all those pieces are doing so solely out of paranoia and maybe it’s redundant and unnecessary to turn off all but the main one. Which could be the case, maybe but I personally lean toward the paranoid side

          Up until this point, the hodgepodge of half-hidden settings was a necessity, because Mozilla hadn’t rolled out the setting we had today. Every few months, Mozilla would announce a new AI feature, and onto the pile of things to disable it would go.

              You’ll probably have to tech back with those incredibly talented (if paranoid) people one more time.
