#Mozilla released #Firefox 148 featuring the #AI "Kill Switch" that has been making the rounds.

The design of the switch is meant to absolve Mozilla of any responsibility for your use of its AI.

It is a trap.

It is meant to switch discussion from whether Mozilla should be doing AI, to whether you can *choose* to not use it.

Don't believe their lies.

This is a long post, and if you click through, I recorded a video: https://www.quippd.com/writing/2026/02/09/firefoxs-ai-kill-switch-is-a-trap-how-mozilla-made-ai-your-problem.html

Hope you enjoy and please boost if you enjoyed it!

Firefox’s AI Kill Switch is a Trap: How Mozilla Made AI Your Problem

TL;DR: Mozilla recently released AI controls for Firefox: a single control panel that lets people disable AI features in the browser or pick and choose which to leave on. On the surface, this sounds like a win for user choice in an era of AI-everything.
