    Does op not want bookmarks or ubo? These aren’t ‘just showing the webpage’ :)

    Tbh the Firefox ai is effectively an addon. Can be disabled even I guess at packaging level (like Firefox-no-ai flatpak).

      There’s AI in firefox? I’m on the beta version and can’t find anything except a “try solo ai” option in the settings that I haven’t clicked.

      EDIT: Oh, you have to open the side-bar, specifically select the chatbot option, then choose a provider if you even want to use it. and it’s not active until you choose. If someone complains about something I actually had to google to find, they’re obsessed. Because I still get the “Try our assistant” notifications shoved down my throat regularly on other services.

    I get what they are trying to say, but I definitely don’t want my browser to just facilitate me raw-dogging the internet. I had to use someone else’s computer at work the other day, and they don’t have any ad block and have apparently clicked “yes” to every dialog box for years. It was a fucking nightmare. Every web page was so full of ads, pop-ups, notifications, banners, auto-playing videos, etc. Jesus christ, I just needed to check the weather on a local news website and the internet skull-fucked me until I had ocular hepatitis. Decided the safest course of action was to just stand outside and look for tornadoes myself.
