No no no, that's no way to write a headline. "Here's how you disable Firefox' AI," now that's a headline!

To be fair, it comes disabled; you have to explicitly go enable it, if you want to use it.
That's good. I still object to it being there in the first place, but opt-in is definitely preferable.
The AI is local and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t give information but only summarises webpages
Waterfox is a solid alternative, fennec for android.
fennec for android.
I use that on Ubuntu Touch running Waydroid 😉
Isn't fennec maintained by Mozilla, though?
Quickly googled it and fennec is no longer maintained by mozilla, the new fork is called fennec f-droid which is what most users are using now so you were technically correct (the best kind of correct)
fennec fdroid is android firefox stripped of proprietary and data collection and i had not heard of it prior to being on f-droid so i was unaware that I even had to specify between the two versions i assumed mozilla had nothing to do with it
Guess I was a little confused; at least their repo, change log and project website still point to Mozilla (in droidify, anyway).
