This would be useful for many people who want to avoid AI features being forced on them by every piece of software imaginable. Hopefully, a centralized kill switch like this will also make it easy for Firefox forks such as Zen and Floorp to let users enable AI features if they want to without changing about:flags.

This was made clear when they talked about this previously but once again people don't want to hear that and instead want to rant about AI. The only thing stopping Firefox is its own users.

i don't even want the code present on my machine, only being held back by a checkbox that may or may not be correctly respected. this is what extensions we invented for.

Yeah the option is called Waterfox, Palemoon, or even Vivaldi.

Didn't even know Firefox was planning on adding AI features. I wonder how much more bloated it'll be.

How about disable them by default or I switch browsers to something else?

after the disaster of comms from the new ceo, this is really great to see.

I am out of the loop, but what AI features does Firefox offer these days?

Where's the kill switch to remove AI from development?

Honestly this should've been introduced with the new AI Features from the start, it's just shipping slightly too late to fully regain my trust.
