You can just ..turn it off tho.

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 62 points 10 months ago (2 children)

In about:config. Not very obvious or user-friendly tbh.

Not to mention that constantly having to turn off crap is still awful UX

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can literally do it through the menu. Go to settings, hit labs or search "ai" and untick it

no AI

/edit: There's a setting under General -> Tabs for the tab group naming suggestions.

The article only talked about about:config.

It should not be on by default and you should not have to go into about:config to turn it off.

It was not enabled by default for me.
