If you're still using 🔥fox and you update around now, they've added "AI" features that are on by default. Disabling takes two seconds:

- hamburger button at top right
- Settings
- AI controls
- Block AI enhancements

I use the browser policies from JustTheBrowser.com in all my browsers to block what I can, although I’m sure the browser companies will start disabling these policies to force the AI enshittification down our throats… (it’s for our own good, don’t you know…)

Also translations (which has been there for quite some time) has been retroactively dubbed as AI and will be disabled if you block all AI enhancements

My choice to block has remained in place.

I had been using for a while now, which is a fork of firrfox, with all AI features disabled.
