    Mozilla has decided that if AI is going to live in your browser, you
    should at least be able to kill it when it gets annoying.

    https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/03/firefox_ai_kill_switch/

    Woudl this turn off AI in google searches? I would think not, but what
    do I know.

    I haven't noticed much AI in Firefox, but the artticle says it's yet to
    be rolled out, so good for them, they're including the ability to
    disable (the disabilty?) at the same time.

    I keep finding mistakes by AI, but only in google searches.



    I turned off AI in Duckduckgo.
    I don't want all those shit answers.
    I want links.

    As much as I find it annoying, I do appreciate DDG letting you disable
    the AI """answers""".

    You can also just use the settings thing to disable the AI too? It's
    nice there's a dedicated link though.
