Man, Watch Dogs predicted the future.
No matter what you think of Eich. The Eich era of Firefox/Mozilla was their golden years. I miss them.

Step 1: Turn off Smart Features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet settings
- Open Gmail on your desktop or mobile app.
- Click the gear icon → See all settings (desktop) or Menu → Settings (mobile).
- Find the section called Smart Features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet. You’ll need to scroll down quite a bit.
- Uncheck it.
- Scroll down and hit Save changes if on desktop.
Step 2: Turn off Google Workspace Smart Features
- Still in Settings, locate Google Workspace smart features.
- Click on Manage Workspace smart feature settings.
- You’ll see two options: Smart features in Google Workspace and Smart features in other Google products.
- Toggle both off.
- Save again in this screen.
Looks like Microsoft learn from the Recall controversy. By making the AI stuff opt-in. Sometimes you need to take the small wins from corporations. Because what’s all you going to get from them.
much like how they eventually snuck in their built-in spyware to screenshot your desktop behind the scenes.
Here’s the minimum system requirements for Recall. Like you can see you need a NPU, BitLocker and Windows Hello enabled to use it. Also it’s opt-in.
The software in question, AppCloud, developed by the mobile analytics firm IronSource, has been embedded in devices sold primarily in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
So if you’re not in the Middle East. You’re good. Still not going to buy any Samsung devices.
So it’s going to be opt-in not opt-out. Just don’t turn it on. Simple as. 🤷♂️
How to disable Copilot
For Pro, Enterprise, or Education users
Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot. Double-click “Turn off Windows Copilot,” select “Enabled,” then click Apply and OK. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
For Home users
Home users without access to the Group Policy Editor can disable Copilot via the Windows Registry. Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows. Create a new key named WindowsCopilot if it does not exist. Inside this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named TurnOffWindowsCopilot and set its value to 1. Restart your computer to apply the change.

Sad. No wonder Meta sucks. If the workers suck so does the company.
Just use a folk of it at this point. Zen, Floorp, Waterfox, LibreWolf, Fennec, and IronFox.
