Firefox is about privacy, so why are *any* AI options enabled by default?
On a brand new profile for Firefox without configuration of any kind I get an AI chatbot in the sidebar and AI tabs suggestions.
Why?
Is Mozilla looking to destroy decades of good will?
Anything like this should be something you have to opt-in to see, not try and opt-out of.
If privacy is a true concern then any of that stuff should be an extension, and not something on by default.
I really don't understand why Mozilla is doing this.

I agree. Make it opt-in, not on by default! It's really frustrating to see "privacy" focused products do this.
Agreed.
The decision to make AI opt-out instead of opt-in is really disappointing.
