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.

Waterfox is a great alternative

I've been using it on my phone for a few months as a trial run before putting it on my PCs. I like it a lot so far!

One more gotcha in the AI booster arsenal: wrong model, wrong prompt, not enough agents, just don't look at it. While none of those things addresses the actual issues of watching everyone piss away their money into the pit for no reason other than psychosis.

Ffs, i dont know what browser to use anymore.

Firefox forcing native ai tools down our troath is just too nasty.

Librewolf being so anti ai, using claude in it freezes the page and they seem unwilling to fix it.
