They should just provide an easy way to opt-in and disable the AI. That should be in their settings page (GUI) too - not in the about:configs page or in the prefs.js. That should be enough for people to stop feeling like they're losing control.

To be more transparent about it and foster further innovation, they should simply move the AI parts out of the browser altogether (to an external engine like ollama) and provide sane defaults, easy ways to launch them and options to try out different models. Such models and engines can perhaps be shared with other browsers or applications without duplication. Why must they instead be separately integrated so tightly into every single traditional application?
