love the wording and design choice of this stupid feature set. this is ass backwards, I'm not even a programmer or coder but I know its contrary to acceptable user interface convention. you have to toggle enable to block the AI shit nobody asked for, like its inevitable, waiting to embed its tendrils into your every interaction with the browser, but we're giving you the option to not be one of the cool people (for now)
I'm pretty sure they changed the keyboard shortcut to open the extensions page within the last few version, breaking years of muscle memory. now it (Ctrl+Shift+A) opens some tab navigation crap.
also, fuck the new rapid version releases and now weekly patch bumps because of this mindless adherence to a ridiculously short, fixed rolling release window
also also, deleting multiple history entries through the Ctrl-H side menu is now completely broken, and it was already glitched badly for many years (would immediately deselect everything after selecting)
fuck Mozilla, they were the last holdout of sanity and stability in this fucked up devolving internet
To be fair, they probably vibe coded the toggle.

feels like the whole browser is going that way. and like, everything else in real life is becoming infected with this madness.
Sounds like someone wants to stand in the way of progress
Seriously, I don't know if I'm losing my mind or what, but for example I had to setup a computer for work. I take a new MacBook out of the box and get it going, the next day with nothing changed the trackpad was all fucky and then it crashed and started an endless restart loop, not even letting me go to system recovery or any sort of safe mode. Among other inexplicable problems with tech I had during the last week.
Toggling that only turns off notifications of new features. You still have to go below and disable the features already there.
