Firefox 145.0.1 added Perplexity to my list of search engines, which I keep very small (only google ddg and wikipedia), without asking, despite my having set browser.ml.enable and browser.ml.chat.enabled false. They clearly have not spared a moment's thought for inferring user preferences on this, and we now know they have an incentive to ignore user preferences on this to goose their newly chosen success metrics.
A couple more changes like this and I'm out. After 22.5 years.
