Firefox hit me today with the fucking AI bot popups

discovered some of the browser .ml .* shit i'd disabled in about:config had *switched back on*

someone at mozilla is playing fuck fuck games with users' preferences

@davidgerard yep they are - I changed the Google search to include the &udm=14 to kill AI overviews. It persisted until a Firefox update came through, then it disappeared.

@jimbob @davidgerard maybe better to create a new search engine with the required parameters and disable the plain Google one?

I have a entry 'Google (AI free)' in my list of Firefox search engines with the url
https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14&tbs=li:1

This is not changed when I get Firefox updates.

Needless to say I rarely need to use it (I mostly use a deAIed DDG).
