posted 2 months agoThanks for the feedback! You can fully hide Orbit and use directly from the toolbar with the latest update that went live yesterday. Let us know if you have any issues with it- Rated 5 out of 5by isthisnecessary, 2 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by 浪迹天涯小叮当, 2 months agoWorks pretty well (a few errors sometimes though XD)
Looking forward to support for more languages! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14379205, 2 months ago

posted 2 months agoActualmente estamos trabajando para agregar soporte para el idioma español. Muy pronto! - Rated 5 out of 5by wdiff, 2 months 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. Developer response
posted 2 months agoThank you for your feedback! We are currently working on adding additional language support and Russian is high on the list!Developer response
posted 2 months agoThank you for your feedback! Russian is very high on the list on the languages we're hoping to support in the very near future.- Rated 5 out of 5by jbou, 2 months agoMozilla 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 - Rated 5 out of 5by Jiri, 2 months agoA toolbar button would be enough. No need to inject extra elements to every website, but it can be disabled.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Almost9797, 2 months agoGreat 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!
- Rated 5 out of 5by k, 2 months agoWhy 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!)
- Rated 5 out of 5by weh, 2 months agoI'm hyped, this seems like a very cool new feature. Hope this will get developed further.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14776589, 3 months agoThis is a timesaver for me, using it a lot! Would be great to be able to use it in the reader view or when reading a searchable pdf too.
