At least its on device, but I would’ve preferred a “turn off” button

      librewolf has bad default settings, don’t login to your ff account unless you know what settings it will apply to your synced firefoxes AND you’re okay with it.

        I had personally no idea about that because I’m not using a mozilla login.

        What does it do wrong?

        The one setting I would suggest most people to change is to disable “clear history when librewolf closes” because 'history’includes all cookies and logins and clearing that is just too much.

    Firefox does have a kills witch you can toggle. This would turn off all AI features, You can try if you like that more?

      I didn’t know about that, thanks!

      EDIT: It seems the “AI Controls” were added after the AI features and are not yet available on my distro

          for me, the benefit if Librewolf is less ads and commercialization bs compared to stock Firefox, so if I’m setting up a computer without signing in to my firefox account, the default settings for Librewolf are better than for Firefox, but if I decide to sync it, then I’d prefer the settings from Firefox.

    If you are on mobile : IronFox If you are on desktop : Librewolf or Zen browser

    All of thoose are firefox forks that support all existing firefox features but disable AI integration by default.

    My only wish is that they should propose No AI DuckDuckGo as a default search engine. ( you can set it in the settings )

      So a yikes happened. I tried syncing Firefox with Librewolf, and Librewolf wrote its default forgetfully-private settings into my synced profile, causing me to loose a bunch of the data I had synced. Luckily I have a computer that was offline at the time and didn’t sync the data wipe.

      DDG browser is also rock solid on mobile.
      blocks a ton of ads, takes care of cookies a lot of the time AND lets you get around youtube with an integrated player most of the time

      Zen browser is great but I run into issues having multiple windows open (I have a multi-screen desktop). It especially breaks if I have the window-managing extension Winger running (which of course happens automatically when I use my Firefox sync profile after using regular Firefox).

      Perhaps expecting Winger compatibility is too much, but man I really wish this was something they’d fix soon

        in case the ui control hasn’t made it to you yet, there’s also about:config keys under ai.*.enable and ml.*.enable, or something to that effect.
