latest stable version of Firefox (148) has their new "AI Controls" which let you block all of Firefox's "AI" features
@packetcat I like that you can still turn on some of them. Like translations is useful, runs locally and afaik not trained on stolen data
@eramdam @packetcat yeah but they are neural network based
@noiob @packetcat yeah but we both know that most ppl in 2026 dont mean "neural networks" when they say "AI", they mean genAI
@eramdam @packetcat yeah and local translation is certainly less wasteful and more private than sending it off to google or microsoft
@eramdam @packetcat (not that neural networks are inherently a bad thing)
