Firefox just got smarter: Mozilla unleashes AI Window

"We recently shared how we are approaching AI in Firefox — with user choice and openness as our guiding principles. That’s because we believe AI should be built like the internet —  open, accessible, and driven by choice — so that users and the developers helping to build it can use it as they wish, help shape it and truly benefit from it," the company said in its blog post.

"In Firefox, you’ll never be locked into one ecosystem or have AI forced into your browsing experience. You decide when, how or whether to use it at all," the company said.

Describing the feature, the company said: "Now, we’re excited to invite you to help shape the work on our next innovation: an AI Window. "

Mozilla described the feature as a new, intelligent and user-controlled space that will let a user chat with an AI assistant and get help while browsing.

"Completely opt-in, you have full control, and if you try it and find it’s not for you, you can choose to switch it off," the company said.

Speaking on the new experience which users can have while browsing, the company said: " You can continue using Firefox as you always have for the most customizable experience, or switch from classic to Private Window for the most private browsing experience. And now, with AI Window, you have the option to opt in to our most intelligent and personalized experience yet — providing you with new ways to interact with the web."
