Key highlights:
>To ensure more of the community was aware of Enzor-DeMeo’s AI kill switch announcement, Jake Archibald, Web Developer Relations Lead at Mozilla, posted about it on social media the next day.

>In social thread, Archibald added that all AI features in Firefox would be opt-in. Still, he admitted that opt-in was a grey area, since a future update might introduce an AI-related button without requesting permission to display it. Either way, he said „the kill switch will absolutely remove all that stuff, and never show it in future. That’s unambiguous.“
Two pieces of good news here: first that the AI features will be opt-in, and second that there will be a kill switch. Hopefully the implementation of these will be elegant and efficient as well.
They described the future of Firefox as an AI based browser. If its baked into the cake, how effective is turning it „off“ going to be?
Who wants this?
The correct default for this is *OFF!* The next best thing is to have it prominently displayed, probably in the upper-right area, with a clear on/off indicator.
How about the opposite? Why can’t you keep the path forward, that’s **grown your user base**, and offer the AI compatibility as an add on feature? Regardless, if they move forward with this implementation, they’re losing a user – kill switch or not.
I’m sure a new, open source, AI-free browser will gain popularity. The market will be ripe for one with all of this garbage.
Too late, Anthony.
DON’T ADD IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Read it twice. Nobody wants this.
How about not adding AI in the first place, not every company needs to make their BS version of a crap product.
Still not interested. If it has AI, I’m out.
I’ve been a faithful user of of Firefox since literally V1 over 20 years ago on the first computer I ever built myself. I’ve weathered through the rough patches they went through over the years but stuck with it. They’ve been pretty good in recent years and especially with Chrome’s strangehold on marketshare I’ve felt good about being on board.
This „AI-first“ bullshit their CEO is talking about is the first time I’m really considering moving to something else. Just utterly disappointing. I don’t care about a killswitch. I’m sure this is just the beginning.
Whoever believes we can fully turn off the AI features then got to have negative IQ lol
I’m a long term Firefox user. Im probably just going to start using another browser
How do all these tools not see that AI is a bubble..? Sure it’s cool and can be useful, but it has been waaaaay oversold and shoehorned into every nook and cranny
