2024-11-20 Firefox user 18692967 Great little buddy to have alongside ChatGPT in my browser. I hope you guys continue to improve on it and who knows maybe some day it becomes a core feature of the browser. I appreciate that it's an actually private tool as one of the main things that drove me away from Microsoft Edge into Firefox was the Copilot AI not only being rather invasive but also doing its best to hide the fact that it is invasive. Orbit has proven to be quite useful so far and I can't really say I have any complaints about it. The only feature I'd like to see, is a dark mode for it's UI; as it is quite jarring having my whole screen dark and suddenly BAM, bright white screen right there. Other than that, I'm pretty pleased with my experience with Orbit c:

2024-11-19 Jean Anton Dear Mozilla Team, I appreciate using Orbit for summarization, but it would be incredibly useful if it could provide summaries or responses in the language of the webpage or offer translations. This feature would greatly enhance its usability for non-English speakers.

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 😄)
