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.

I view it as a battle symbolically won.
The brainrot in Mozilla management is still in full swing. :/
Maybe, but I did just also read that Microsoft is scaling back "AI" in Windows 11, possibly stripping Copilot out of Notepad and Paint. Between this and the new Firefox "Block AI" toggle, the message is hitting home. We want tools, not forced LLMs.
This is what happens when we refuse to be quiet. They are starting to realize "AI" is a privacy risk and a probably a bad for their market share.
Don't stop now. Be loud. Be a real pain in their butts. Make them scared to even mention it.
People familiar with Microsoft's plans say that the company moving to streamline or remove certain Copilot integrations across in-box apps like Notepad and Paint in 2026, after pushback from users.
@terminaltilt @rl_dane Microsoft has nightmares to lose his only market share he has strong: Desktops. Many are tempted to jump into Linux and if the GameCube were already launched it would be a success, not only for gaming. Linux distros are always been better than Windows, but really difficult for regular users Since 10 or 15 years ago are really easy.
Microsoft is lying more by doing exactly opposite of they said about opensource.
I never took the "Microsoft ❤️ Open Source" thing seriously.
To me, Microsoft's profession of "love" reminds me of the ending of The Screwtape Letters.
They "love" open source like I "love" a good steak. It's all about consumption.
