Mozilla is working on an AI kill switch for the Firefox open-source web browser to let users completely disable all AI features.

After the controversial news shared earlier this week by Mozilla’s new CEO that Firefox will evolve into “a modern AI browser,” the company now revealed it is working on an AI kill switch for the open-source web browser.

Mozilla said that all the AI features that are or will be included in Firefox will also be opt-in.

Finally some good Firefox news.

    Ok I realize I’m in “fuck AI” but what exactly is the point of implementing this? LLMs are not intelligent and don’t work most of the time. Why is Mozilla pushing for this?
