Something that hasn't been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features. We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this. …

All AI features will also be opt-in. I think there are some grey areas in what 'opt-in' means to different people (e.g. is a new toolbar button opt-in?), but the kill switch will absolutely remove all that stuff, and never show it in future. That's unambiguous. …

I'm not asking for faith in our direction - the thing I love about the Firefox community is how open, honest, and technical it is. But I do ask that you don't have the opposite of faith. Like, try not to be determined that we're going to do the wrong thing here. …
