I mean you can just turn it off including future ones, no?

And sadly, as much as I wish this weren't true, my 70y old mum I talked into Firefox does kinda make good use both of the translate feature and interestingly of the summarize. With age, she noticed she struggles with long texts, so she has the browser summarize it, checks whether it is what she actually wants to read, then later makes time to read it slowly with breaks.

That's just 1 user, I know. Still, it gave me pause. I didn't think summarize in particular had a real use case.
