Now that Google and Microsoft each consume more power than some fairly big countries, maybe it's time for 2024 Mozilla to take heed of 2021 Mozilla's warnings.

Mozilla really doesn't understand its users if they thought that making that "web advertising preferences" BS opt-out would go over well

Some new preferences in about:config seem to suggest 2021 Mozilla's warnings are being used. In the way they warned against.

```
browser.ml.
```
```
            enable
```
```
            chat.prompts.0
```
```
            chat.prompts.1
```
```
            chat.prompts.2
```

Etc. (Default disabled... For now)

FFAI?

This feature (that is again, opt-in) is not for you or me, or anyone who knows that mozilla connect exists, its for timmy, who is does not know anything about tech but likes using chatbots
