I'd like to remove specific AI chatbots, but not all of them, from the sidebar.

There's a particular AI chatbot that I do not trust, and would rather it never be used from the Sidebar. If I choose another one instead, the one that I do not want remains on the list of possible chatbots to pick from.

I'd much rather be able to just remove it from the 'available chatbots' list so that there's much less possibility of it getting any data from me, ever again. I currently use Firefox 144 if that matters.

Sorry, i misinterpreted, it doesn't work entirely.

Access AI chatbots in Firefox.

Remove specific AI chatbots, entirely, this is an interesting request for improvement.

This is not a support request. Let me explain a bit more clearly.

First, as an example, assume that 'Fred's Chatbot' was put on the official Firefox list of available chatbots, and that I (for whatever reason) never want to see 'Fred's Chatbot' on the list ever again. I am however, OK with using the others on the list. There's no easy way to do remove only 'Fred's Chatbot' at the moment, though I seem to recall there was something in other versions of Firefox that would give the end-user more direct control over what actually showed up on that list.

I could be wrong about the prior existence of such options, or combining it with some less 'locked to Firefox's official chatbot choices' AI-powered extension that did allow removing choices from the provided list. I'm not quite sure.

I'll be checking the other possibilities that Agentvirtuel came up with, in the next few days. Thank you for the ideas.
