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.

Firefox will soon let you block all of its generative AI features | TechCrunch

Starting with Firefox 148 arriving later this month, users will find a new AI controls section within the desktop browser settings.

I use Vivaldi. No AI.
It's Norwegian.
I use Mojeek for search as it's UK based.

I like that they are European, but Vivaldi talks a big game. At the end of the day, their UI is proprietary and obfuscated. "Trust me bro" is not a valid privacy model.

When you go from one proprietary browser to another, like Vivaldi, you are just trading one cage for another.

At this point, I would recommend vanilla Firefox over Vivaldi (and any other proprietary browser), even with its AI garbage, because I can actually hold their claims accountable by auditing their code.

I highly recommend anyone explore Firefox forks, though, like Librewolf, Zen, Waterfox, or Mullvad.

I have Mullvad and but don't get on with it. Perhaps give it another go.
