"Mozilla built an AI kill switch into Firefox after its users demanded one. Only 1% have used it. Another 3% turned off some AI features selectively. The rest left everything on."

Poppycock. The people who turned off all the AI had already turned off the telemetry that measures this.

@nyquildotorg it also doesn't answer a more important question, how many users do actually use the features? And how many once you take out translation? Translation was lumped with the LLM-based features while predating them and implemented using a completely different approach.

@gabrielesvelto @nyquildotorg exactly, that was a really nasty pattern to make users keep AI switch on to be able to use translation.

@torf @gabrielesvelto @nyquildotorg you can just turn the translation back on after kill switching the rest
