- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18058733, 3 months agoSurprisingly useful. Mozilla is one of few tech companies I trust, so I'm willing to see where they go with this.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ollie, 4 months agoI've found Orbit to be decently useful for me so far as a summary tool. I like the fact that it seems designed with that main purpose in mind. I also very much appreciate the steps taken to preserve user privacy.
My number one request however would be to include a Dark Mode option for the panels and widget. The current light theme clashes heavily with my dark browser theme and pages using a dark layout.
I'll definitely continue using this add-on, and I look forward to seeing how it develops with future updates.
EDIT: They have since added a dark mode, so that's a 5 stars from me! Thank you devs! - Rated 5 out of 5by doesthiscount, 4 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mascus, 4 months agoThis is an incredible add-on. Well done, team, for making it so useful and responsive. The AI is also really great and non-distracting in its responses.
May I ask that you add a keyboard shortcut to bring up a chat window or something? It would just feel a lot more fluid that way. The orb (clever naming btw) can be a bit distracting, partly because its animated.
I'm super happy with it just need a keyboard shortcut to make it stealthier.
Cheers for all your work so far.Developer response
posted 4 months agoThat's great feedback! And thank you for the kind words as well. The keyboard shortcuts should be coming in the coming iterations : ) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16840780, 4 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sérgio SantAna Júnior, 4 months agoDou 5 estrelas para a Orbit porque a Mozilla continua investindo em tecnologias inovadoras e é ótimo ver esse apoio ao open-source. No entanto, a falta de suporte em português e a ausência de opções de personalização limitam a experiência para alguns usuários. Seria interessante oferecer a escolha de personalizar a IA, onde quem busca mais privacidade mantém o padrão, e quem deseja uma experiência mais rica preenche preferências e a opção de aprender com uma conta personalizada, uma experiencia mais imersiva. Acredito que a Orbit tem um futuro promissor e, com mais flexibilidade, pode conquistar uma base ainda maior.

- Rated 5 out of 5by es-rene99, 5 months agoI do wish the floating widget was optional, so I could select the options by clicking the extension on my extensions bar, but it does it's job and I like privacy oriented AI, awesome!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Theeo123, 5 months agoForegoing the discussion of AI in general and leaving that for a different time & place.
If you WANT to use AI in your workflow, this is a pretty handy tool. it's quick, easy to access, and the summaries it generates are succinct, easily readable, and helpful.
it is NOT a general purpose AI, it is meant specifically for summarizing content, and for that purpose it does a very good job. - Rated 5 out of 5by Terran, 5 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by TheOddLia, 5 months agoA simple yet quite powerful AI integration for Firefox. There's already an AI sidebar built-in to Firefox, which offers models with more capabilities but integration is a bit finicky. For summarization at the click of a button, this is the best (and more private) choice. The floating orb on pages is a bit annoying, but it's dismissable now with the extension fully usable from the browser toolbar.

posted 4 months agoThank you for your feedback! We've made some tweaks that should address most of the concerns you've raised. Please continue to share your thoughts as it's the only way we can iteratively improve the product. - Rated 5 out of 5by sumer122, 5 months agoUser-Friendly, perfect for me. One point I would like is an option for choosing to summarize in the language page (ie: french page --> french summary)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Chris, 5 months agoEasy to use add-in, I've tested many website that are doing less, or are more complex. Of course the generated website is "light", missing some features, but the job is done. I hope this tool will last and develop over time, if Mozilla has a medium-term view to help Firefox gain ground, otherwise thank you for removing this tool because people will be looking for this type of solution, but intended for Firefox users.
- Rated 5 out of 5by dislocate5406, 5 months agoPretty great AI assistant. Capabilities are a little limited and I find that it also provides similar capabilities as the AI Chat in Firefox Labs, with the exception of a needed account. If there was a way to activate the AI Assistant via button or hotkey, so it's out of the way, that would be stellar.
