Feels like people making a big deal out of it. You can also just, you know, not use these features. I can't remember the last time I use the "Print" dialog, the "Manage bookmarks" or the "Homepage" button. But these things don't have AI in their name, so people aren't so obsessed with removing them.

IMHO just like many companies are obsessed with adding AI features, some users are obsessed with rejecting them. Both seem mostly senseless to me, especially when it's a local-first AI implementation.

Even if you don’t use them they still keep popping up popups which are distracting and make them violate WCAG for people with attention problems such as ADHD.

Not sure what I'm doing differently, but using Firefox Dev Edition on Linux, I don't recall ever seeing a popup.
