Mozilla forcing llm features and providing no gui for users to disable them

“Mozilla has been adding in llm & ai related features to Firefox for a while, enabling them by default without asking the user… The main problem with this is users are having this forced on them with no gui option to disable these features.”

Article contains instructions for disabling the LLM through about:config.

    Oh, come on… They are enabling you to use LLM is you want to. They are not forcing anyone.

    And here is why it is better than most alternatives out there… An Open Source AI, build with transparency and ethics should be something to be exited about - for all who use LLM… For the record, I don’t. I don’t have any use for it, my brain works fine… But I have an exception, and that’s my own private LLM, running only on my machine…

    So, please take a chill pill, and do some research before yelling “WOLF!”

      Yeah, I didn’t even notice the button was there since I had the sidebar hidden it was easy enough to right click and remove don’t get the big deal it’s not even ‘on’ if you click it you have to set it up
