    The new AI controls panel will also enable users to manage five AI-powered features individually: browser translations, alt text generation for images in PDFs, AI-enhanced tab grouping with suggested names, link previews showing key points, and sidebar access to chatbots (including Anthropic Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and Le Chat Mistral).

    I’m glad for that. I don’t want most of these things, but the translation feature is very useful, runs locally, and only activates when I click it. I intend to keep it enabled and switch off the rest.
