@dried thanks! I added this to my Obsidian notes on ffmpeg, and it should be very helpful.

@jrp I agree with all this on principle, but I just don't think that being absolutist about my principles is worth not watching the things I want to watch.

@kitkatwastaken oh no! I saw from another reply thread that there's supposed to be an "AI kill switch" in v148.0, so I'm looking forward to that at least.

@dried I would definitely be interested in this as well! I have the same issue as @draco.

@jrp definitely looking forward to these features: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ai-controls/ — thanks for the pointer to that account!

@jrp I tried LibreWolf and mostly liked it, but I couldn't get it to work with Netflix. While I agree Netflix is problematic, and I do collect DVDs, sometimes there are things I want to watch that are only on Netflix and not available on DVD.

Anyone know how to remove this “AI” menu option on Firefox?

When I have no windows open, there's a “new AI window” option in the “File” menu, but it disappears after I open a new window. I would prefer the menu option to never show up.

I set “browser.ml.chat.enabled” to “false” in “about:config” when I heard that would increase performance, and I have all the “AI” features I could find in the settings menu disabled. I'm on macOS 15.7.3, and Firefox 147.0.2.
