"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 That's pretty under-belly / dark pattern. Nobody bothers or enjoys checking FF settings. Why didn't they put killswitch on the main FF page or visible menu?
Thanks for heads up, I immediately searched for it (Settings/AI Controls/Block)

(...and that is, children, a schoolbook example of biased data interpretation)

What are you talking about? The kill switch *is* in the main settings. https://cybersecuritynews.com/firefox-ai-kill-switch/
No about:config etc. needed.
