    They can, but why? If I can be enabled/disabled, what’s the harm? If I thought Firefox is nefarious it wouldn’t use it at all, not just avoid their extensions. It’s not like that’s the only way they could have to spy of it was the goal.

    This will be aimed for the average Joe that thinks it’s “neat” edge has it and doesn’t know about extensions.

    Mullvad and Librewolf might have it disabled, it’s an easy switch.

      The harm is that it contributes to software bloat. I haven’t met an “average user” that desperately wants AI in any product, at least the type of AI that these companies keep trying to shove down our throats.

      The harm is that AI is still very new, with many of its use cases not panning out.
