In fact firefox now allows you to preview the link and get key points without ever going to the link[1]

This is generated on device with llama.cpp compiled to webassembly (aka wllama) and running SmolLM2-360M. [1] How is this different from the user clicking on the link? In the end, your local firefox will fetch the link in order to summarize it, the same way you would have followed the link and read through the document in reader mode.

> They should advertise that
Previews can optionally include AI-generated key points, which are processed on your device to protect your privacy.
I'll also add that if you go to the Labs page (in settings) you can enable another local model to semantically search your history
How else do you want them to advertise it?
Like, can we all take a step back and marvel that freaking wasm can do things that 10 years ago were firmly in the realm of sci-fi?
I hope they’ll extend that sort of thing to help filter out the parts of the dom that represent attention grabbing stuff that isn’t quite an ad, but is still off topic/not useful for what I’m working on at the moment (and still keep the relevant links).
- AI shops scraping the web to update their datasets without respecting netiquette (or sometimes being unable to automate it for every site due to the scale, ironically).
- People extensively using agents (search, summarizers, autonomous agents etc), which are indistinguishable from scraper bots from website's perspective.
- Agents being both faster and less efficient (more requests per action) than humans.
