Firefox has announced the addition of an AI Chatbot feature into the sidebar of the web browser for convenient chat usage without the need to open separate tabs. Users can choose from multiple chatbots (similar to selecting browser search tools) initially supporting 4 chatbots: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, HuggingChat, and Le Chat Mistral. In addition to chatting in the sidebar, users can also drag text on the web page, right-click, and send it to the bot for summarization or rewriting, depending on the features of each bot. Mozilla confirms that the principle of Firefox is to provide users with options, not to force the use of any particular chatbot brand, and will strive to find a balance between calling AI services through more capable cloud-based services and running AI on machines that preserve the privacy of data.
TLDR: Firefox introduces AI Chatbot feature in sidebar for easy chat access, users can choose from multiple chatbots, and maintain the principle of providing options without forcing the use of a specific chatbot brand.
