2025-01-27 Ron Great extension, but needs multilingual support. Orbit is a great and well-designed extension for summarizing web pages, but it's limited to English. It would be highly beneficial to add support for other languages or include an option to translate summaries into the user's preferred language. This would make the extension more universal and accessible to a broader audience. Looking forward to future updates—thank you for the great work so far!

2025-01-24 Paul P. I would like to have an option where only the toolbar icon is shown. I don't like even the small orbit floating on my web page.
2025-01-23 Matt Only used a little . The smaller icon option is good REQUEST - that it can be used for PDF documents displayed in Firefox.

2025-01-18 Firefox user 16793127 Works extremely bad, often produces summary that is longer than the article itself. Developers of this add-on have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Instauninstall.
