🤿 DEEP DIVE
Firefox adds AI Window and user-controlled kill switch for AI features

Source: Firefox
Intelligence: Firefox is launching a new AI Window and a universal AI kill switch to ensure AI tools remain fully opt-in and under user control
The AI Window mode will appear alongside classic and private windows, offering an isolated, opt-in space for AI-powered browsing
A global off toggle will let users disable and remove all AI features, preventing models from running or downloading until reactivated
All built-in AI tools must be explicitly enabled, so no AI processing occurs by default or in hidden background tasks
The kill switch feature is slated for rollout in Q1 2026, likely shipping with Firefox 147 or a subsequent early-2026 update
This approach reinforces Firefox’s privacy-first ethos, with AI processing handled locally and activated only with clear user consent
