Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux

Not buying it. Kill switch will migrate further and further into about:config until it eventually too goes away without notice in an update six months from now.

No that’s way too paranoid. Honestly 20 years not 6 months. And by then ladybird will be viable so nbd

No six months to a year is probably about right. They’ll have enough data by then to say “most people don’t turn it off” because realistically most people will use the default, which is on.
Twenty years from now Firefox will be in a new controversy that we can’t even begin to guess.
Plus, while I can’t predict when the AI bubble will pop, whatever they add in the next year will be removed within the next five years. AI isn’t like browser tabs, or extensions, stuff that will always be a great idea, it’s just the current fad.

Well time will tell won’t it, but we’re both just guessing at the end
