MODERATORS
To be successful, Firefox should not only try to keep up with the competition, but also offer some unique features that would attract new users.
I agree that LLMs are overhyped, but in my opinion they are quite good at summarising text. We all hate clickbait titles, and this feature has the potential to actually combat them. And what's unique about Firefox's approach is that it's truly private. No other browser offers this.
There are tons and tons of extensions that would work for summaries and generic AI tasks. It would have been perfect for Mozilla to make this an extension and recommend it.
This all adds more surface area for attack and vulnerabilities.
