With the concerns raised over comments by Mozilla’s new CEO with wanting to evolve Firefox into a “modern AI browser”, the Firefox 148 release due out later this month aims to address some of those concerns by having a new AI controls area within the web browser’s settings.
Beginning with Firefox 148 releasing on 24 February, the browser now has an AI controls section whereby current and future generative AI features can be toggled.
The AI controls section will let users opt-out of features like translations, alt-text in PDFs, AI-enhanced tab grouping, link previews, and an AI chatbot in the sidebar. Those are just the initial AI controls to be found within Firefox. Each of these AI features can be toggled individually.
Those wanting to learn more about these AI controls coming with Firefox 148 can learn more via the Mozilla.org blog.
