I get that we're skeptical of every little company doing "AI" projects, and we should be, but local AI for browsers already has several obvious applications - translating text without sending it off to a third party like Google, automatically generating subtitles / transcripts for arbitrary audio / video, etc.

Firefox like most independent browsers is also reliant on search engine revenues. If AI threatens search, then it also threatens Mozilla.

Plus Chrome, Brave, Safari, and Edge are already doing the same kinds of research, for the same reasons.

Yes!

The translation engine for Firefox rocks!

Most of that reads like it should be an OS feature.

I would never trust ai to translate things for me.
