Mozilla is adding a toggle to disable all generative "AI" features in Firefox. It shows that organized pushback is actually making a difference.
One battle won. Now let's make it crystal clear. We want tools, not forced LLMs. Keep the pressure on until "AI" is no longer an option.

@terminaltilt "won" is strong language when the correct position is "strip that shit out", not "let us ask you not to force it on us."
Who here believes it's really an off switch, even?
Maybe, but that is why I said won a battle, not the war. Making these companies even flinch is a win in my book
In a world where corporate philosophy has transformed into contempt for the customer, I’ll take every concession we can force. The off switch will truly never be there, but that is where the community steps in. If they say it is off and we find it still phoning home, we will be there to document it and raise even more hell.
Success will not be overnight, but we have got them on the defensive, even just a little bit. I'll take it.
