| 2024-11-07 | Mascus | | This is an incredible add-on. Well done, team, for making it so useful and responsive. The AI is also really great and non-distracting in its responses. May I ask that you add a keyboard shortcut to bring up a chat window or something? It would just feel a lot more fluid that way. The orb (clever naming btw) can be a bit distracting, partly because its animated. I'm super happy with it just need a keyboard shortcut to make it stealthier. Cheers for all your work so far. |

| 2024-11-02 | FrogPog | | I really like this addon! You can summarize giant webpages/videos into some sentences! But, it have some issues: 1. Minimal orb format always snaps to right border. Would be nice if user could snap it to the left, bottom or top. 2 Orb position resets when changing tabs / going to another link. 3. Orb sometimes randomly disappears (enabling on/off don't help) (yeah my english is very bad because it's not my first language 😄) |

| 2024-10-30 | kris33 | | Works good, but extremely annoying UI. This adds a massive floating element to all webpages by default. You can make it smaller, but it's still on top of pages instead of better places built for add-ons, like the toolbar. Imagine if other extensions did it like this, it would be massively annoying. It's like the Clippy/BonziBuddy UI, just duller. You can't summarize the things you usually want to summarize either, like links you haven't clicked on yet. That's probably the most useful use-case for summarization, "do I want to consume the contents on this link or is it clickbait?". This plugin can't do that, the UI is both intrusive and useless. The Kagi extension has a WAY better UI (but the summarization itself is often broken unfortunately, so alternatives are needed.) |
| 2024-10-30 | Sérgio SantAna Júnior | | Dou 5 estrelas para a Orbit porque a Mozilla continua investindo em tecnologias inovadoras e é ótimo ver esse apoio ao open-source. No entanto, a falta de suporte em português e a ausência de opções de personalização limitam a experiência para alguns usuários. Seria interessante oferecer a escolha de personalizar a IA, onde quem busca mais privacidade mantém o padrão, e quem deseja uma experiência mais rica preenche preferências e a opção de aprender com uma conta personalizada, uma experiencia mais imersiva. Acredito que a Orbit tem um futuro promissor e, com mais flexibilidade, pode conquistar uma base ainda maior. |
