Orbit [Beta]: AI Assistant and Content Summarizer by Firefox
Review by zeevb
Rated 4 out of 5
by zeevb, 2 months agoThis extension shows promise as a thoughtful approach to integrating AI capabilities into Firefox. Rather than building AI directly into the browser, Mozilla has opted to release it as an optional extension, giving users more control over their browsing experience.
The extension offers basic AI-powered features like webpage summarization and question-answering capabilities. However, there are some notable privacy considerations that could use improvement. Currently, the extension lacks granular privacy controls - users would benefit from the ability to whitelist or blacklist specific websites. Additionally, there's a lack of transparency around when exactly webpage contents are being sent to the AI service - whether it happens automatically when pages load or only when users explicitly request summaries or ask questions.
