Though it works, there are few things to be dealt with:
1. This isn't open source.
How can users just provide all their privacy content without knowing whether their data will be abused?
If it's open source add-on, at least somebody can audit its code.

2. Lack of customisation ability.
Users may have their own prompts to make Orbit speak in certain style they preferred, or summarise their emails in some structured format, but there isn't any option for us to do so.

3. Support more languages.
Well, if your statement is true, the instance you hold is Mistral 7B.
Then why Orbit only speaks few language (or only English)?
Mistral 7B is a multi-lingual model, so I guess you either etched some prompt into it or the model behind the closed-source interface isn't mistral 7B (that's why I want open source, otherwise we don't know what exactly happened there).

4. Font
The current font size and style are not reader-friendly at all.

It needs some work. It's okay at providing summaries, but almost nothing else. Understanding page context is fairly lacking and the responses are brief, lacking creativity or suggestions that you'd find in similar AI like Copilot.

It struggles significantly with describing entertainment videos. Mixtral makes many mistakes and overlooks important moments, as if it doesn't understand the sequence of the narrative and what to write. The descriptions are too concise. It would be beneficial to recognize when more details are needed and when they are not. In any case, I hope this can be improved, as the concept itself is great. It would also be nice to consider using Llama 3, GPT-4o Mini, or Claude 3 instead of Mixtral7B.

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.

Works good, but extremely annoying UI.

This adds a massive floating element to all webpages by default. You can make it smaller, but it's still on top of pages instead of better places built for add-ons, like the toolbar. Imagine if other extensions did it like this, it would be massively annoying. It's like the Clippy/BonziBuddy UI, just duller.

You can't summarize the things you usually want to summarize either, like links you haven't clicked on yet. That's probably the most useful use-case for summarization, "do I want to consume the contents on this link or is it clickbait?". This plugin can't do that, the UI is both intrusive and useless.

The Kagi extension has a WAY better UI (but the summarization itself is often broken unfortunately, so alternatives are needed.)

Please remove the floating widget. There should be a button for summarizing the content from within the extensions toolbar. Also, please add the ability to set custom prompts.

I'm glad Mozilla's trying for more privacy-conscious AI alternatives. The functionality is fine.

But I'm not going to have a giant, animated blob covering the corner of every website. You have a toolbar, an extensions menu, a context menu, and shortcut keys. Use any or all of those to activate an extension. (Heck, you even have an AI sidebar pane experiment. Why isn't Orbit in there?)

The summaries are alright, nothing ground-breaking you can't find elsewhere. My main complaints are that it puts a 100x100 floating widget on your webpages -- who the hell thought this was a good idea? You have an extensions toolbar for a reason, Mozilla -- use it.

Displays a large icon floating over the webpage - and it's *animated*. I'd like to try this extension, but only after this is fixed.

Edit: The new "minimal" option is less annoying, but still gets in the way. What I really want is to move it to the browser toolbar or sidebar.
