MODERATORS
The feature looks like absolute shit. Their supposed use-case is "you opened a bunch of tabs and none of them have what you need" and yet they expect you instead to sit there with your mouse hovering over a link, while holding a shortcut on the keyboard, waiting for the AI summary to finish loading? That would slow you down about 10x versus just opening all the links and looking at the page?
If they wanted link previews, why didn't they just prefetch the page and render it normally in a preview thumbnail like the ones that you now get when hovering over an open tab?
Mindless shoe-horning of AI into the product to check some kind of box for the overpaid C-suite. For shame.
