Latest nightly builds of Firefox 139 include an experimental web link preview feature which shows (among other things) an AI-generated summary of what that page is purportedly about before you visit it, saving you time, a click, or the need to ‘hear’ a real human voice.

Hate having to read an article to understand what it's saying and would rather read what an AI says it (potentially) says instead?

This reads like satire.

Maybe because it is, an article says later "Saltiness aside" 😏
