No no no, that's no way to write a headline. "Here's how you disable Firefox' AI," now that's a headline!

To be fair, it comes disabled; you have to explicitly go enable it, if you want to use it.

That's good. I still object to it being there in the first place, but opt-in is definitely preferable.

The AI is local and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t give information but only summarises webpages

At this point I'm just posting this over and over again:

![Two panel comic by Tom Fishburne. In the left hand panel a man sitting at a desk gestures at his computer screen saying "AI turns this single bullet point into a long email I can pretend I wrote".

In the right hand panel, a woman at a desk gestures at her computer screen, saying "AI makes a single bullet point out of this long email I can pretend I read".](https://media.kbin.earth/0e/cd/0ecd0684ffcca4418a8c72039a75b0f4b67004d4c71ae134821e2d766f99a779.jpg)
