Quit shoving this AI stuff down our throats, Mozilla. Even a simple opt out is missing.
What AI did you get opted into?
(As someone not particularly into AI, I'm happy to see that the majority of the features listed here are not AI, and many of them are actually useful. I love vertical tabs and tab groups.)

That just removes some buttons, but AFAICS no AI would have been running if you did not toggle those settings?
I don't know what you are defending here. ML = "machine learning". The first one enables or disables machine learning: a broad strokes API that plugs generative models into Firefox. It is the first step. Yes: a sidebar is innocuous. I still use it myself. However, I have the machine learning chat sidebar disabled so that they cannot shove whatever generative prompts, etc in my face based on their contractual agreement with Google.
I'm mostly questioning the statement that "opt in is missing", as I haven't needed to opt out of anything. The only ML that's enabled for me is something I opted into, which implies that that's not missing.
