Sorry Mozilla, this has nothing to do with you. Microsoft is trying to force Chrome users into using the Edge browser; Firefox users aren't part of their strategy. Google and Microsoft don't need to do anything to attract Firefox users, because the Mozilla foundation is already doing a perfectly good job of alienating its users.

I'm sure the few remaining users are thrilled that you are acknowledging they are still holding on, by intensifying your strategies to drive away all Firefox users, and surely your addition of AI features will further your drive to do so.

> We built our answer into Firefox 148, introducing a centralized AI Controls panel in your browser settings including a single “Block AI Enhancements” switch that turns off every AI feature at once.

TIL. Woot! Sure enough, it's right there in the sidebar - no deep searching of settings needed.
