In addition to completely disabling AI, I found the following setting extremely convinent to disable in about:config. They clutter up my right-click on a link or on text selection.

  browser.translations.select.enable
  dom.text_fragments.enabled
  privacy.query_stripping.strip_on_share.enabled
  devtools.accessibility.enabled

Now if only I could get rid of "Print selection" and "Services" when right-clicking, too (on MacOS)

Try modifying a webpage’s source to open with <html mozdisallowselectionprint>. If that works, you can make that universal using any page-mod plugin (though not necessarily the userstyle CSS-only ones). I’m mobile-only tonight so I can’t test myself, but derived from:

Why would you disable "dom.text_fragments.enabled"? Why "privacy.query_stripping.strip_on_share.enabled"?

The latter, especially, seems helpful.

`dom.text_fragments.enabled` to remove "Copy link to highlight" on right-click. Yes, it can be useful, but I never use it and the very rare occasion of needing to use it when opening a page, I can just search it myself.

`privacy.query_stripping.strip_on_share.enabled` to remove "Copy clean link". I would rather it just did that clean link thing automatically, but I don't actually care about clean links -- it's just annoying having two "copy link" next to each other (especially with one which is greyed out 99% of the time!)

It strips query params used for tracking. Has it never bothered you when you click share on Instagram or YouTube and it inserts a unique-to-you "share ID" in the URL? I was burned by this once, now every time I copy a share URL from a social media platform I first paste it into my text editor and remove all of the privacy invasive tracking cruft.

As an aside I think it's only matter of time before this is done without query params and instead each share link is generated just for you.

I'm also missing:

  dom.text-recognition.enabled
  browser.search.visualSearch.featureGate
  extensions.formautofill.addresses.enabled
  extensions.formautofill.creditCards.enabled
  widget.macos.native-context-menus

The last one removes the "Services" option when right-clicking an image or highlighted text.

I wish we could also disable "Send via email" when right clicking a picture, I constantly misclick and userChrome.css does not work for the context menu on macOS since it's natively rendered...

> userChrome.css does not work for the context menu on macOS

Putting:

#context-sendimage { display:none!important; }

in that file works for me.

print.enabled should disable all the print stuff.

Thanks! I didn't know that.

I think that's a good workaround, but I'll have to re-enable it when I actually need to print something.
