Description

The checkboxes on this page look like slide controls that would instantly save yet you have to hit the save button to opt in.

I suspect this a UX nightmare and many people will slide the controls but not hit save.

Thus I suggest using mw-ui-checkbox from core for the time being and killing this styling.

Later we should make them real slide controls that do not need a submit button.
Thoughts?

We should switch these to use mw-ui-checkbox [1]
