Firefox have come through an delivered and actual AI killswitch in the browser.

@kev did they follow through on their promise that it would be "opt in"?

@DekOfTheYautja I honestly don't care at this point, as it's a single rocker switch to turn it off, so I'll take the win.

@kev the fact that @mozilla added an entire new section in Preferences, so that people can disable a feature that they added, because the actually requested feature was to remove the other feature tells you something...

@kev @didek It's not "good enough" when they throw a "do you want to refresh Firefox?" prompt in your face if you haven't used the computer in a few months, and clicking yes resets all your decisions.

@dalias @kev @didek Exactly.

Only very gullible people think Mozilla won't "ooopsie" that toggled-off switch back to "on" through regular "coding oversights".
