@davidgerard My anecdotal reaction is that needing to do all this to turn AI off is deliberately user-hostile. What has Firefox done for me that I should give it the benefit of the doubt and go to all this trouble, only to have to do it again when the AI product manager has a conniption over all the users turning AI off and demands a different dark pattern to keep people chained to the yoke?

@davidgerard Just search for “.ml.” and set everything you see at FALSE 😉
