    FYI if you want to edit the Firefox policies directly and save it in /etc/firefox/policies/policies.json, this is the file they are using

      "policies": {
        "DisableFirefoxStudies": true,
        "DisableTelemetry": true,
        "DontCheckDefaultBrowser": true,
        "FirefoxHome": {
          "SponsoredStories": false,
          "SponsoredTopSites": false,
          "Stories": false
        },
        "GenerativeAI": {
          "Enabled": false
        },
        "SearchEngines": {
          "Remove": [
            "Perplexity"
          ]
        }
      }
    }`

    Great move for those that don’t want to migrate, but I’d recommend just switching to Vivaldi if you like chromium browsers, librewolf if you are used to Firefox, and if you use edge you aren’t even reading this so whatever.

    Edit: I guess if you can get this to work on a work computer where edge is your only browser option perhaps, that would be nice.

      If you’re familiar with the controversy around the Honey coupon addon, there are a lot of parallels in terms of privacy, ethics etc.

    I learned how to turn off the AI search mode and chrome immediately logged me out and pretended not to know my device. C’mon bro, just give it up already, we do t want your shitty product shoved down our throats. Waterfox it is, and they easily let me transfer all my bookmarks and passwords.
