Firefox: user control over AI

Mozilla has chosen to make generative artificial intelligence features in Firefox optional. Users can now disable all AI functions with a single click, responding to the preferences of those who do not want chatbots integrated into the browser.

This move reflects a growing awareness of the importance of user control in AI integration. While some people may find AI features useful, others may prefer a more traditional browsing experience, without the interruption of automatic text or image generation tools.

For those evaluating on-premise deployment of AI solutions, there are significant trade-offs between control, costs, and compliance requirements. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
