Mozilla shuts down even more Firefox services

From 136 on it seems you need to about:config to turn off the integrated AI. Just connects to gemini by default so some kind of funding deal?

This should be OPT IN, not out.

Also, long live udm14.

What integrated AI? I'm on 141 alpha and haven't noticed anything. And just in case, how to turn it off in about:config?

There are 'browser.ml...' settings in the config that are on by default.

The provider seems to be blank by default until you try to use the chatbot in the sidebar and choose which one to use.

Different experiences may come from their "remote settings", where they toggle rollout/enabling of features depending on results from API calls to Mozilla servers.

Defaults may differ by inferred country, for example.

I don't believe this remote-toggling can be disabled via config, even if you'd expect it covered by "experiments".
