Starting with Firefox 148, which rolls out on Feb. 24, you’ll find a new AI controls section within the desktop browser settings. It provides a single place to block current and future generative AI features in Firefox.

They actually listened to the community, thats very nice.

What kind of inconviniences? I have experienced literally none - except you may need to enable DRM. That's one then

DRM is one. On Windows it doesn't auto-update by default (maybe that's changed now?). I recall you have to whitelist some sites to work properly. It's just not something I can set up for my parents and expect most/all websites to work without intervention.
