    I don’t really like this incursion in AI territory. On-device translation is OK but this AI chatbot sidebar should be an extension and not something Mozilla should spend time/money/effort on.

    Hm. I’m not too excited for more AI integration but it’s optional so honestly, why not. I haven’t tested it yet so this may already be the case, but I really hope you can add self-hosted chatbots. That’s really the only way I’d ever use this feature.

    Also, from a business perspective, this can act as a neat competitor to Edge’s AI inegration, especially if you can use a self-hosted LLM with knowledge of your company’s internal data. I can definitely see some (emphasis on some, however) value here.

    This article reads like an ad.

    For me, the best change in Firefox 130 is Firefox Labs. This new section in Settings makes it easy to opt-in to try-out experimental features in development for future releases. If you’ve used Firefox Nightly builds you may be familiar with this page.

    A handful of ‘experiments’ are offered in this release, including the handy auto-open picture-in-picture option I wrote about recently, and the ability to access an AI chatbot of your choice from a sidebar, or selecting text and clicking the sparkle emoji.
