If you beat up the firefox team long enough you actually get the required controls.
@isotopp no, it should have been opt-in, not opt-out.
@maaneeack doesn't the "new and current (...) are blocked by default" mean opt-in or is that part only "if opt-out"?
@gorobar They made the 'killswitch' so that you can individually re-enable certain features. That's what that notice means.
Opt-in would mean that no AI was enabled by default, and you could choose to enable it.
@maaneeack OK, I understand - thanks for the info.
I guess it's better than nothing like this, but definitely should have been opt-in.
