Finally! Firefox just gave you an AI kill switch
PCWorld reports that Mozilla Firefox is introducing comprehensive AI Controls in its browser, allowing users to completely disable or selectively manage AI features. This development matters as other major browsers like Chrome and Edge integrate AI extensively without easy opt-out options for users. The feature debuts in Firefox Nightly builds and will reach most users within two months, with settings persisting through updates. Mozilla Firefox has always seemed like the "cool kid" browser option, for the power users who don't want to deal with Google or Microsoft. So perhaps filling it up with "AI" features -- you know, the things people are kind of tired of seeing from Google and Apple -- might not be winning people over.
