- Offers customization options to disable/enable AI features (e.g., DuckDuckGo options).
- Generally easy to use and consistently praised as a reliable AI blocker.
Cons
Recent reviews
Just like other users, I thought of suggesting an easier way to disable, however, that would make it so easy for the lazy user that it's simply not worth it.
Although many people said it removed many features when using Google Search Engine due to switching the mode, there's not much to do to stop the server from operating and saving resources. Not only that but I personally didn't notice such a difference.
However, I am quite disappointed with the fact it could also offer an option to block the most known AI domains from appearing when searching, such as Deepseek, ChatGPT, Gemini.. or perhaps even block those!
To not fall on this, I use Block Site and Blacklist, but I imagine this extension could have a built-in feature with a list of AI websites.
9/10, does what it promises but could be more customizable and remove domains known for AI features an option.

Is Disable AI Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Disable AI requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
Disable AI is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
