    Is the killswitch in settings? Because I had to set browser.ml.enable to false in about:config since there was nothing related to it in settings

      Yeah, that’d be like the web browser equivalent of going into the Windows registry editor and changing a value in there. Like, it’s there, but unless you already know what you’re looking for, it’s not really an option.

      They have said they will make one outside of about:config.

      Is anything related to AI even in yet? Or is it that they just placed the flag in there for future use, but no features are in?

        Not sure if it counts but chatbot support in the sidebar has existed for quite some time now.
