    Ummmmm, what is an AI browser? I mean, other than something I don’t want.

    Does it browse AI generated content? Does it generate AI web pages for me? Does it just set chatgpt/copilot/grok/gemini as the homepage/default search? Does it use AI to customize content to your language/reading level? Does it flag non-AI content as potentially malicious like an http site?

    I’m so lost.

      You made me read the Comet browser review, as I did not have the courage to install it myself.

      Seems useful if done privately and under supervision:

      • has an AI chat sidebar that can interact with what you’re viewing
      • can fill out forms (eg. you can dump unstructured text and have it fill, instead of copying field by field)
      • it can browse the internet for you - you ask it a question and watch it browse pages to find one with an answer
      • it can summarize the currently watched page. Which at first I thought was ridiculous but sometimes you need to get information from shitty bloated articles with 10 paragraphs of introduction

      As long as it’s optional and done right (eg. It can fill the form but it’s me who submits it, and the model is running locally), sounds very useful. Also no reason why it can’t be a Firefox addon instead of built in.
