Firefox de Mozilla joined Chrome, Edge and other browsers to offer previews powered by AI, but this time with twist. THE latest version Allows you to use a keyboard shortcut to open a contextual window that previews the contents of a link when you fly over any web page. This is a new way in which AI is integrated into browsers that can help users but harm publishers.
To try the new feature, you need the latest version of the Firefox version 139.0 version chain. In the parameters under “Firefox Labs”, simply activate the seizures of links. “After activation, use the shortcut of the Alt + Shift keyboard when you fly over a link to see the glimpses in action,” writes Mozilla.
Once on, you can hover your mouse on a link on any web page and a vertical window will appear showing an image on the top, the editor’s link and a quick summary. Below, “key points” generated by AI provide more information. Mozilla said previously That he uses the Smollm2-360m language model from the face of the face, available with the content of the reader’s view to ensure confidentiality.
Links overviews arrived last month in beta, but is now widely available in certain regions. Like Google’s IA previews, this could risk harming publishers by reducing traffic (which is probably why none of these features are available in France where I live). It is not clear either if Firefox pays publishers to use their information in summaries powered by AI.
