Good for Firefox! I would be so happy if this blocking feature was offered with every single internet program, browser, and search engine. I am so tired of fending off AI and it's getting worse all the time. I had to deal with a telephone "AI assistant" yesterday who said to speak a sentence about the subject I was calling on. It gave several examples. I spoke one of those sentences to it, twice, and each time it came back with "I don't understand you", then finally put me through to a real person. I made this call twice and it couldn't understand me in either one. I don't have an accent, I don't lisp, I don't mumble - why could it not understand me? There was smoke coming out of my ears by the end!
My primary reason for using Firefox has always been that by downloading the extension udm 14 I could exclude AI results from my search results, thus not forcing me to end every query with -AI. I hope that by telling about this many more companies will get inspired to do the same. I do not use Firefox for blogging, as Firefox keeps logging me out of Blogger - a known issue since years.

SvarSletI get mad enough at those "press one for ..." thingies. One having me repeat sentences ... I'd have been smoldering as well.
SletGood to know for Firefox users.

It’s very good of them to put in this option.
SvarSletYes it is, and I hope their exaple will make others follow it.
