Hasn't this already existed in Firefox for the best part of the last year? I see a "Ask ChatGPT" context menu option with various tasks ("Proofread", "Summarise" etc) when I right click. It's easy to remove or point at a different provider too (browser.ml.chat.provider) if you prefer a different model, and I think the prompts are customisable.
How can OpenAI, Anthropic, or any other AI player compete against this? Google can just slap their products to everybody in Android, Google Chrome, Google Search, which creates an unfair advantage.
They had multiple messaging technologies and never could figure out how to embed one into Chrome to take over messaging (a la iMessage). Google Home has somehow been getting worse with every passing year. I have no doubt they will totally fuck this up and just end up boosting Chrome's already insidious tendency to chew up every spare CPU cycle.
Can somebody please share what your "summarize this page for me" use cases are? I really struggle to understand how many people seem to have "summarize this" as their main LLM use case. And I use LLMs every day, for so many tasks - just never this one. Can you please share a couple of real-world times where you couldn't bother to read the "thing" and truly got value from having a LLM read it for you?
Not a lawyer but the timing of this seems poor when the govt is deciding on whether Google should spin off Chrome or not.
Timing in Google is all about perf cycles. This is being done so people can say they launched and landed Gemini in Chrome.

Sounds like you installed some kind of extension maybe? This definitely does not seem like any Firefox default behavior.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Recipes. "Summarize it. Keep only instructions and ingredients (more prompt about how to format instructions, what units to use, how to order instructions) and start with one sentence that describes the dish and it's origin" Which is a terrible waste, really. Many recipes are blown up to make them copyrightable. Often done with AI. And then I use AI to remove all that again.
Recipe sites always have a print button which gives you just the recipe. If I end up on one of those sites I instantly hit Ctrl+F "print" to get it.

No, it's part of the browser. Still experimental, though.
