Starting with Firefox 148, which rolls out on Feb. 24, you’ll find a new AI controls section within the desktop browser settings. It provides a single place to block current and future generative AI features in Firefox.

They actually listened to the community, thats very nice.

There are some concerns but yes, development generally accelerates: https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.03156

we present a systematic literature review of 37 peer-reviewed studies published between January 2014 and December 2024

So they AI summarized other people's work.

Most studies are exploratory (64%) and methodologically diverse, but lack longitudinal and team-based evaluations.

And later acknowledge there are major gaps in methodology. I wouldn't be linking to this as proof of accelerated dev imho.
