When Mozilla released Firefox 148.0 with the "AI kill switch", I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and give it a try. It worked...for a while. With the 148.0.2 update, however, the kill switch was disabled and a lot of my settings had changed. That's it.

I am officially done. #mozilla #firefox #noai
