Mandatory note: you cannot contribute a dime towards Firefox. Google contributes, not you. Money given to Mozilla will find its way into AI experiments (https://www.mozilla.ai/) and AI grants (https://mozilla.vc/).

    Clarification: You can disable all the AI stuff with one switch.

    Furthermore, the hardened forks of Firefox don't have it.

    Still better than contributing to the chromium monopoly.

    Please take this clarification to Mozilla: AI should never have been in their browser in the first place. If they felt it was necessary to waste donations on, they could have offered it as an actually optional extension.
