What idiot/s decided that AI should be opt-out instead of opt-in?

Actually, given that this "feature" made it all the way through to prod, I seriously suggest you just fire absolutely everyone currently working for Mozilla and start over with entirely new people, and ideally have as one of your hiring criteria a sensible understanding that AI has no place in Firefox, or any other Mozilla project. Leaving aside the question of whether it's good or bad, it's simply irrelevant to what we're doing here.

Thanks for enshittifying one of the few parts of the internet that wasn't yet crap. Great job, well done Angus.

Mozilla isn't listening to it's users. Nobody wants AI, but they put it in anyway, full send. I'm DONE with Firefox. Garbage browser that was once great and has been infiltrated by commies. ALL SET. Fuck you, Mozilla and everyone AT Mozilla.

Pretty much EVERY browser now has some kind of AI added to it
