Firefox Adds Microsoft Copilot AI to Its Sidebar – But Will Users Accept It?

Absolutely not, and thanks for the warning. Sidebar was already set to off, couldn't find any options for making sure that copilot was more off.

Not having ai bs baked in is a vanishingly rare feature in consumer software.

Go to about:config and set

browser.ml.chat.enabled to false

There are a a bunch of other browser.ml settings, but I don't know what they do.

Also, there was a local AI model downloaded somewhere in the extensions settings that can be removed.
