A few settings you may wish to consider for your firefox's about:config page.

browser.ml.chat.enabled = false  
browser.ml.chat.shortcuts = false  
browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom = false  
browser.ml.chat.sidebar = false  
browser.ml.enable = false  
browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled = false

Gets rid of the browser AI, and also gets rid of FireFox ~~spyware~~ telemetry & ads, installs uBlock origin, and generally is the browser we all thought FireFox was supposed to be:

Yes but it wouldn’t exist without Firefox

I notice they don't have an android version. Any insight why?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Closest thing I've found for Android is IronFox https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

IronFox is nice on Android

Waterfox supports booth desktop (mac maybe not) and android

I wish Firefox would make AI crap be addons as opposed to built into the browser.

Which are the relevant platform(s) and version here? I don't seem to have the .chat variables.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

With Firefox on Android I only had:

browser.ml.enable = false

Firefox 141.0.3 (Build# 2016106991)

This is great! Now to figure out how to do this by policy. I've been banging my head into so many walls during the past 2 days, trying to figure out if Mozilla has an .admx that will allow me to turn this off for devices via CSP, or via custom OMA-URI.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

There used to be an admx, we're using it (to enable Firefox to use system cert store and the like). I hope it's updated quickly after new releases, but I never had an urgent need for that until now. Guess I'm also finding this out on Monday...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

I found this, but I'm still working out the oma-uri stuff. Very much not my forte, but maybe this will help you.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Can't you disable all this in the settings page?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

I don't believe so. The very first one is synced with one of the options in the settings menu, but it doesn't look like any of the rest are.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Hmm I'm not sure what options these flip under the covers, but disabling both of them appears to be sufficient to disable the features.

I notice my battery has been draining like crazy the past month or so, i wonder if this is it! Thanks for the tip.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

what does the .ml. stand for? mozilla?

[-] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago

machine learning, most likely

Yeah it was a subtle joke about how people thought that the ML in lemmy.ml was "Marxist-Leninist". It was really because Mali had cheap (free?) domain names for a time. The political beliefs were just a happy coincidence.

Maybe linguine?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Thank you kindly, friend!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Hell yeah, my man!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Thank you...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Am I the only one not seeing the tips?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago
