They support Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, HuggingChat, and Mistral.

    why a fucking chatbot? translate a page better for me you fucking losers, all the translation options suck for privacy outside of specifically trained local AIs. this is the BEST use case for a small local LLM yet mozilla with all its brains and resources couldnt rub two neurons together for this.

    or they could do character prediction on your typing to make typing faster. just some legit examples, why waste resources to build a chat ai into my browser when i can just open a website???

    I wish I had telemetry on such features.

    I really doubt a significant number of people use AI chatbots often enough that having it in a dedicated sidebar is worth it.

      I switched a while back before all the Ai and “privacy preserving” telemetry stuff.

      Every update note I see for Firefox now just reinforces my decision.

    I don’t understand the hate. It’s just a sidebar for the supported LLMs. Maybe I’m misunderstanding?

    Yes, I would prefer Mozilla focus on the browser, but to me, this seems like it was done in an afternoon.

      I want my browser to be a browser. I don’t want Pocket, I don’t want AI, I don’t want bullshit. There are plugins for that.

            i know it is an unpopular opinion around here. but currently AI features open doors for sales. that is important.

            for the software i help develop, we introduced an optional AI integration. just its presence allowed us to sell the main SW multiple times. the AI plugin was never sold so far.

            investment AI: 2 weeks of gluecode. i am not concerned with finances, but that plugin is for sure net positive.

              Do users like the AI integration, or is this just something the management class wanted to see? Right now, those clothes look crazy good on that emperor…

                right now we don’t have any real customers that use it - as the plugin did not sell yet.

                but from testing at customer sites with real people that would use it - we got only positive feedback. which is not hard to imagine: the RAG + LLM enables less experienced users to navigate a huge and complex network of information.

                but it for sure is also a buzzword execs like to see: they talked to us because we have AI. saw that the main product is good. bought the main product and decided the AI is too expensive.

                in the end it doesn’t matter to me. the 2w of AI was a fun sidequest and it left us with a passive boost for sales.

    Didn’t want it in Opera, don’t want it in Firefox. I mean they can keep trying and I’ll just keep on ignoring this shit :/

    Unpopular opinion, I think they’re doing it right as well as it can be at least. It’s completely optional and doesn’t seem to be intrusive.
