About this tag
Browser governance refers to the policies and controls that determine how a web browser manages features, privacy, and user choice. On WindowsForum.com, discussions around browser governance often focus on Mozilla Firefox's approach to generative AI. Recent threads highlight Firefox 148's AI Controls panel, which includes a global "Block AI enhancements" toggle and per-feature privacy settings.
