Oh wow, Google is really sneaky with their AI Mode button on the new tab page in Chrome. Here's a very unintuitive way to disable it.
1. Open chrome://flags/ in your browser.
2. Look for "ntp-compose-entrypoint".
3. Switch to "disabled".
4. Restart your browser.
"Mozilla AI, a new startup launched by the non-profit behind Firefox, aims to champion ‘trustworthy’ development of artificial intelligence (AI) amid the rapid acceleration of the generative AI space."
"Firefox users looking for a quick way to tap into generative AI can now do so without even leaving the current page."
"Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery"

"Mozilla has responded to user backlash over the Firefox web browser’s new Terms of Use, which critics have called out for using overly broad language that appears to give the browser maker the rights to whatever data you input or upload."
Yeah, not for me, sorry.
@hisold @stefan @orrickle Never mind. I did find a way to make LibreWolf my default browser, but now I'm finding issues.
First I found that I had to turn off "Delete cookies and site data when LibreWolf is closed" because I wasn't willing to log into everything again every time I close the browser (which I do at least once a day, and obviously have many times today). Solved.
But time zones in Todoist weren't working, so it thinks today is Tuesday (it's ~5pm on Monday). I turned off ResistFingerprinting, which apparently is the cause of this issue, and now it works again, but have I now neutered LibreWolf to the point that I should just go back to Firefox?
