"Mozilla built an AI kill switch into Firefox after its users demanded one. Only 1% have used it. Another 3% turned off some AI features selectively. The rest left everything on."
Poppycock. The people who turned off all the AI had already turned off the telemetry that measures this.

Many of the people who wanted the AI kill switch got tired of waiting and switch to LibreWolf or other options.
I know, I'm one of them.
When firefox added the kill switch - well, that ship has sailed.

@nyquildotorg even if those numbers are accurate, 1% of firefox users is 2 million people

I know it isn't the same order of magnitude of evil, but this kind of reasoning always makes me think of the justification for psychiatric shadow prisons:
"We passed a law that if someone attempts suicide and fails, we subject them to coercive interrogation to make them say they changed their mind. We then found that almost everyone who attempts suicide and fails says they changed their mind!" -

@nyquildotorg@gts.nyquil.org my upstream OS vendor turns this telemetry off by default. firefox therefore says it is being "managed by my organization" in its settings page, because of the file they installed to override this.
nobody who runs any number of different Linux distributions is counted in these numbers. this includes all 3 members of my household, about 10 machines. it probably includes multiple of my coworkers. -
