I just tried using the AI chatbot feature in Firefox, which is really great if you need to chat about the contents of an entire web page. However, it has a lot of friction when looking up explanations. I had to go through TWO different dropdown menus. Also, the fact that the sidebar remains there until you manually close or open it which is yet another distraction.
The keyboard shortcut has been updated to Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+X.
As dminsky noted, the previous shortcut was a default in Firefox for Windows/Linux. This update prevents conflicts with default shortcuts across all operating systems. Apologies!
Of course, you are totally fine. Even with that interpretation, shorthand slang pronunciations have definitely become enough of a part of common parlance especially on the internet that it is quite a stretch to invoke potential racism.
However, I'd like to point out to others that they don't have Groq, which is free for normal everyday use and has the fastest inference compared to the options provided by Firefox.
My extension does a very specific thing and is not supposed to be a replacement for a chatbot. There's no typing involved, just a short keystroke.
I have no reviews so far, but in my experience, it has also been 'accurate' in explaining words, sentences, and short paragraphs to me.
I believe that, for now, my extension will be the most viable option for people who don't pay for their LLM use and only want certain things explained to them, after which they can be left alone to do their work.
I've set browser.ml.chat.provider to http://localhost:8080/ to use the feature with Ollama and that works fine. Perhaps it's not difficult to add support for websites like Groq?
I've tried changing the URL to chat.groq.com but it appears Firefox doesn't know how to submit the prompt. I haven't dug into it very deeply, but I feel like it should work after a rather minor change on either Firefox's end or Groq's end.
