By giving you an off-switch, Mozilla’s leadership shifts the ethical burden of AI onto the user - turning their design choices into your responsibility.

Oh no, giving the user the choice of which features they want to use! How vile!

Use one of the forks that does this by default if you really can't stand having the choice yourself. Or is choosing a fork also "making it your responsibility" and therefore also something that's bad?

    FWIW I think you're doing the right thing in pressuring Mozilla to have better defaults and shed their bloat. Especially because some people who have abandoned Firefox have also felt compelled to leave their forks because they unfortunately resemble hobbyist projects:

    I only briefly considered the Firefox forks. On LibreWolf specifically, I don't think I trust that they will be around. It seems they have one primary maintainer, they don't accept donations, and the main person could leave tomorrow. That's not just my read, that's their stated position.

    I really like what LibreWolf is and does, but it's understandable people would reach this conclusion.
