I dunno that seems very compatible with

AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off.

Also, the dev says the following and I think they have a point.

I’m not asking for faith in our direction - the thing I love about the Firefox community is how open, honest, and technical it is.

But I do ask that you don’t have the opposite of faith. Like, try not to be determined that we’re going to do the wrong thing here.

try not to be determined that we’re going to do the wrong thing here.

There’s a lot Mozilla has done right, but there’s a lot they haven’t done right as well. These days, the cynical view has proven itself to be more reliable in general, so it’s hard not to apply it here as well.

That being said, FF has supported AI chatbots for a while and I haven’t seen it come up once in my browser beyond when they said “this is a thing now”. But this has also been a good opportunity to explore alternatives, so I’m trying out Zen now (ff-based still).

Something easily turned off is distinctly not opt in. They’re still lying to everyone.
