Super frustrating the AI Chatbots are infecting my Firefox browser now. It looks like malware and pretty much acts like it since it cannot be disabled from the sidebar outside of closing this window. I like vertical tabs, but they require so many other options by default. Even more frustrating that the URL goes to a chrome browser link: chrome://browser/content/genai/chat.html

Alarms very heightened.

      about:config has all of these set for me. I don’t see anything AI related, but I also use sidebery for tabs/sidebar

      browser.ml.chat.enabled false
      browser.ml.chat.shortcuts false
      browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom false
      browser.ml.chat.sidebar false
      browser.ml.enable false
      extensions.ml.enabled false
      extensions.ui.mlmodel.hidden true

          Lol yeah, I meant I don’t have the AI junk in firefox’s ui using those settings. Even that chat selection ‘chrome’ page is essentially blank other than a model selector. I don’t know if it usually has anything else, but it’s as local/internal as about:config and the like.
