- Rated 4 out of 5by Victor, a month agoThe addon is really useful, I wish that you could choose Swedish as a language though.

We're currently testing a few models that support additional languages. Hopefully we'll be able to support Swedish in the near future. - Rated 4 out of 5by Matt, 2 months agoOnly used a little . The smaller icon option is good

- Rated 4 out of 5by raphdragon02, 2 months 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 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18772018, 2 months 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 4 out of 5by it.s.me, 2 months agoit'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!Developer response
posted 2 months agoThank you for the kind feedback! We are hoping the upcoming release will take care of the persistence of the Icon. - Rated 4 out of 5by 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. - Rated 4 out of 5by ChosenFate, 2 months agoSeems 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

posted 2 months agoThank you for this feedback! This helps us continuously improve Orbit.
We're building keyboard shortcuts that'll allow us to fully hide Orbit in the upcoming release. Developer response
posted 2 months agoThank you for your feedback! We're working on improving the performance for future iterations.- Rated 4 out of 5by Ryan, 3 months agoA bit silly sometimes, seems adamant on answering questions about the web page im currently on exclusively, even if specified otherwise, has some issues interpreting language. Also please add darkmode, I beg.
Other than that it's a very useful extension, saves a lot time by its ability to summarise everything. Excited for new updates. Strongly recommend.Developer response
posted 2 months agoWe really appreciate your feedback! For now, the functionality of Orbit is limited to only summarize the current page you are on so that we don't retain any of your previous sessions. - Rated 4 out of 5by Ank, 3 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Oxilotic., 5 months agoPretty good as far as AI extensions go. Hate that floating orb though, wish it was optional. Perhaps a right click or toolbar click could be avaliable as options?
Good work regardless.Developer response
posted 4 months agoThank you for the kind review! A new patch just went out today with a new "minimal" setting for the "orb" that makes it less prominent. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18636972, 5 months agoI'm very excited to try this, but right now it's not available on my Android computer. That's worth at least one star in my book. Excited to update this once I can try it on my computer though! Beautiful branding and design 👌🏼
- Rated 4 out of 5by Massimiliano, 5 months agoBella l'idea ma avere un componente fluttuante è fastidioso. Inoltre spero che presto sia supportato l'italiano
Developer response
posted 4 months agoGrazie per la risposta. Il "componente fluttuante" è ora opzionale nella versione più recente. E stiamo lavorando per supportare più lingue nel prossimo futuro. - Rated 4 out of 5by SMArtgrinder, 5 months agoI'd prefer it to be a toolbar button rather than a flying slug covering the page contents.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Kyle, 6 months agoIt's nice so far, but I wish there was a way to let it run in the background. Having the icon hovering over the page is a bit distracting
