it's overall a good extension and ai works well but the only thing i don't like about this is that i have to keep the floating icon, either dynamic or minimal.

Firefox, please add a button next to the address bar, that would be very non-distracting. i know i can pin extension to toolbar, but it still needs improvement and the floating icon will still say.

Other than that, it's really great!

please add Russian language support.

Mozilla offers us this new Firefox extension which provides a free and privacy-preserving AI assistant for web browsing. The quality of the web page and video summaries is very decent IMO although there's room for improvement. Latency is also fine. Regarding the UI, I like the simple and functional design, but find it too invasive by default, while it's fine when set to minimized.
For a beta, this already got me hyped and looking forward for future versions!

Some suggestions for improvement:
* Response quality can be improved, by incorporating more recent and powerful language models than the current choice (Mistral 7B).
* Allow to save a history of summaries/chats.
* Implement natural language search across website pages. That could be super useful for overcoming the lack of a search function on a website.
* For even less clutter, move the Orb button as an menu in Firefox's extension toolbar.
* We could expect more transparency regarding how it works: what exactly is send to the model (does it only see the current HTML page? what is the full prompt?), where is the server located, or what is the exact language model used (if open).
* Add a dark mode option

A toolbar button would be enough. No need to inject extra elements to every website, but it can be disabled.

Is the extension really that important that they have to put that ball right on the webpage? I guess not. Mozilla should stick to its own style guides & established best practices. A toolbar button would have sufficed.

This 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.

Great idea! It needs some work on customizations and accessibility. The font is too small, and the screen should have a dark/light mode option. Also, the pop-out sidebar should be adjustable in size. I'm really excited about the potential, though! Keep up the good work!

does not work

Pls allow user to write and save the prompt per domain. For example, when I am on court awards webpage, I want the summary (prompt) to be specific to that type of content. Other pages with different type of content would need other prompts.

Also, pls remove the Orb and do not use orbs in the UX any more. Ever.

Why does every "official" Mozilla feature get its own part of the screen? Less and less space is available for page contents. I wish it could just go inside the overflow menu instead of taking up yet more of the screen. (That initial floating orb thing was super scary, not the impression you want a supposedly useful tool to give!)

Is there going to be added languages other than English? There are open-source models with a similar number of parameters that have better language capabilities, eg llama

期待后续优化，目前体验还行，加油~

Seems nice so far, but please let us completely disable the orb. even on minimal, its annoying, and opening the extension isn't extra effort. The orb even shows in fullscreen videos which is just.. annoying

I'm hyped, this seems like a very cool new feature. Hope this will get developed further.

kind of slow

Not perfect, but like GPT-3 or 3.5.
