Does anybody have an explanation for how this switch was missed during the design process?

Finally, the first AI-related feature I’m actually excited for in Firefox.

What do you mean by that?

On nightly it was an opt in switch I think. And now it’s newsworthy that it’s going to be an opt out switch?

It was always planned to be opt out.

Desktop only or Android is getting it too?
