"Mozilla has been adding in llm & ai related features to Firefox for a while, enabling them by default without asking the user... The main problem with this is users are having this forced on them with no gui option to disable these features."

Article contains instructions for disabling the LLM through about:config.

there's many forks that have the stuff turned off by default like Librewolf and Floorp

I personally use Qutebrowser. there's many better options than straight up Firefox.

Thanks everyone. I will look into using Librewolf. I'm still on Firefox because there is a Debian LTS package so it's the path of least resistance. There doesn't seem to be a Librewolf package in the standard repo so I'll have to check a bit further.

There is something to be said for making modifications instead of forks so you are never waiting for an update.

Here's my 2 cents: https://github.com/celenityy/Phoenix
