Comment on Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs

Wait so where is this AI on my firefox? I haven’t seen anything, is it running by default, and what’s it doing?

How do I shut it down then? Everyone hates AI so I don’t understand what mozilla had to gain by bringing in AI, or what they had it doing in the first place?

Local translation which only happens when you trigger it I believe (and is cool)

Smart tab groups which i don’t think anyone cares about and only happens when you ask it to

Link previews which I think happens on link hover which is undesirable if you don’t want to accidentally do it

A sidebar chatbot integration which you’d have to use on purpose

Someone said perplexity in search engine options which you’d have to do on purpose

  Link previews happen if you hold click on a link or choose it in the right click menu. By default it shows pretty much just the title of the page and a banner asking you to enable an ai summaries.

If you don’t want to see AI on Firefox anymore, all you have to do is click on Settings > AI Controls. You’ll then see a very bold and prominent option called ‘Block AI Enhancements.’ Hit that, and every AI tool gets disabled.
