That’s obviously not what enabled means, at all.
If there is a button visible that executes a function when receiving a click, that feature is enabled.
That does not mean that the feature is actively in use, of course. Enabled and active are different states for a program’s functionality to be.
I believe it’s pretty easy to understand, there are people like me who don’t want to have AI functions popping up in our browsers without explicit enabling on our part.
I understand that you disagree, but it is not a difficult position to understand.
You don’t need to re-define opt-in and opt-out just because you support Mozilla in adding AI features to Firefox.

And you can take approximately 3 seconds to click on the kill switch if you so desperately need not to see an AI button somewhere.
Like I can understand (and I agree) the stance on AI in general, but this is just a knee jerk reaction. Your browsing experience is 99.9% unchanged even if there is a button somewhere…
