This is Opt-In. People really need to cool it with the Firefox hate.

We’ve all got enough history here to know that “opt-in” is a short step away from “opt-out”, which is a short step away from “we removed the toggle to simplify the user experience.” At this point any new “opt-in” feature in any piece of software or service is Chekhov's gun - all that announcement means is that at some point in the future I’m going to have to figure out how to remove this thing or replace this software or service.

It is understandably hard at this point to trust Firefox to do right things

Cool it with AI hate? Love Firefox, I don't understand slapping "AI" on a browser.

Just because you don’t want the feature doesn’t mean other don’t. I certainly would - assuming the implementation is privacy friendly

To me it is just usual Firefox behaviour chasing some trend or other. Adding features for sake of adding features. I wonder what is the over-under when this feature will be deprecated...

Do you, honestly, not see the benefits of LLMs, particularly in a browser?
