Alternatives in light of the recent Firefox 'AI' announcements.

Firefox AI can be switched off right now in about:config by setting the following to False.
browser.ml.chat.enabled browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge browser.ml.chat.shortcuts browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom browser.ml.chat.sidebar browser.ml.checkForMemory browser.ml.enable browser.ml.linkPreview.shift

I also set gl.allow-high-power to False which prevents high GPU when rendering WebGL content.
These two settings make Firefox a lot less CPU intensive.

In any case, something like this must always be opt-in, but never opt-out. My two cents.

I am noticing a lot of the brands starting to backtrack a bit on AI due to the insane backlash they are getting, which is good. Personally I think it should be disabled by default on any software, but we know many will not do that.

I'll give Mozilla credit on this one, which is not something often I would ever do.
