- Rated 3 out of 5by Ron, 4 days agoGreat extension, but needs multilingual support.
Orbit is a great and well-designed extension for summarizing web pages, but it's limited to English. It would be highly beneficial to add support for other languages or include an option to translate summaries into the user's preferred language. This would make the extension more universal and accessible to a broader audience. Looking forward to future updates—thank you for the great work so far!Developer response
posted 18 hours agoThank you for your feedback! This is very high up on our priority at this moment.
We've been receiving a lot of request for multi-language support and we're in the process of testing models that will provide satisfactory results for the most used/requested languages. - Rated 1 out of 5by Sigma, 6 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16793127, 13 days agoWorks extremely bad, often produces summary that is longer than the article itself. Developers of this add-on have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Instauninstall.
- Rated 5 out of 5by 浪迹天涯小叮当, 19 days agoWorks pretty well (a few errors sometimes though XD)
Looking forward to support for more languages! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14379205, 21 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by raphdragon02, 22 days agoit's become very useful and an integral part of my daily usage. the only reason i didn't give it five stars is because i need a dark theme!!!

- Rated 3 out of 5by aditya, 22 days agoquite decent but the button really needs to disappear when fullscreen video is playing atleast in minimal mode, its extremely distracting and blocks content. This is the only real issue i have with it but it makes it quite unusable
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18772018, 22 days agoGreat at what it's designed to do, quite useful for catching up on news. One minor hunch; could you please make it so that the orb disappears when going full screen in YouTube? Simple feature that would go a long way. (Maybe a shortcut to hide and show the orb?) Thanks!

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17541499, 25 days agoI will be following the project with interest. Surprisingly, there is no repository for this extension. Also, no communication platform has been created. For example, a discord server.
The extension is obviously designed for Firefox. Why does its design seem so foreign to the browser's design? Isn't this part of the same ecosystem? I agree with all the comments about the support for different languages, the dark mode, and the annoying extension icon. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15209884, 25 days agoPor favor hagan que la IA se pueda comunicar en otros idiomas, en español por ejemplo.

Muy pronto! - Rated 5 out of 5by wdiff, 25 days agoIf assuming that you approach AI not as a "think for me" and rather a "think with me" piece of software, this is great. Works with everything Ive tried so far on it.
But only have 2 simple requests.
*Allow DarkReader / Implement a dark mode.*
Its a major eyesore that this is seemingly the only element I cant change.
*Add another option to engage it via the extension icon itself*
This may just be in response to the first request...but still, what can be done in minimal can be done from the icon itself. I dont need this element always stuck on the right side (why cant it be on the left) of my screen.Developer response

* We are hoping to have Dark Mode available for our next release.
* We are testing a few additional ways to fully remove the persistent icon (floating, stuck to the side etc.) Hoping to have that out very soon as well. - Rated 2 out of 5by Gerk, a month agoIt struggles significantly with describing entertainment videos. Mixtral makes many mistakes and overlooks important moments, as if it doesn't understand the sequence of the narrative and what to write. The descriptions are too concise. It would be beneficial to recognize when more details are needed and when they are not. In any case, I hope this can be improved, as the concept itself is great. It would also be nice to consider using Llama 3, GPT-4o Mini, or Claude 3 instead of Mixtral7B.
