So mozilla is paying the server costs for this, what's the business model?
AI
It is very privacy friendly [...]
What makes you believe that? The most information I could find about this is that it doesn't "save your session data." The Orbit privacy policy also seems a bit bare, and I can't decide if that's a good thing or not.
Either way, you're still sending data to a third party service to process. Might be worth it for some people.
No association with any account. Therefore, no profiling.
Facebook and Google profile you with no account. Accounts aren't required for tracking.
The general tone in this thread seems so very different from when "Mozilla is working on AI" was first announced
I’m just glad it’s an add on/extension. A lot of the crap baked into browsers these days is just bloat nobody wants or uses.
Maybe they could focus on developing a web browser instead...
Considering how google is making chrome worse every day, they could do only security updates and still be the best browser.
Ooh, I just tried it out and I can tell I'm going to love it - if not this specific plugin (the UI needs some work) then this general concept of a plugin.
I just popped over to Youtube and went to a ten-minute video of something or other, clicked the "summarize transcript" button, and within a few seconds I had a paragraph-long summary of what the whole video was about. There have been sooo many Youtube videos over the years that I've reluctantly watched with a constant "get to the point, man!" Frustration. Now I'll know if it's worth it.
Huh, I'll have to check it out then. This will be especially useful for Louis Rossmann videos because he rambles and repeats himself a lot.
Do you have the SponsorBlock add-on installed? Most videos have user-submitted sections that it lets your skip. Also, a highlighted part.
Hm...could be useful for those times you want to read a guide but can only find one in video form
Indeed. And after generating the summary, there's a chat field below that where you can ask the AI to elaborate on particular subjects. This is really nice.
RIGHT?!!! IT'S SO FKIN AMAZING
This is especially going to be useful for me as a student. It's just feels like browser 2.0 at this point haha
