Starting with Firefox 148, which rolls out on Feb. 24, you’ll find a new AI controls section within the desktop browser settings. It provides a single place to block current and future generative AI features in Firefox.

They actually listened to the community, thats very nice.

AI "Enhancements," fuck off.

So I can use AI to group my tabs but I can't even group tabs in the first place on mobile? Epic prioritization

Nah, there is no "AI" grouping your tabs. It's just a grift.

Waterfox is a great alternative

Ffs, i dont know what browser to use anymore.

Firefox forcing native ai tools down our troath is just too nasty.

Librewolf being so anti ai, using claude in it freezes the page and they seem unwilling to fix it.

For real? That sounds like an endorsement to me.

I prefer my browser doesn’t police what sites do and do not run.

Also, a site that you don’t use, not being useable. Has zero effect on you. Marking this as a positive seems rather petty.
