Running Inference In Web Extensions
Running inference in web extensions | The Mozilla Blog
We’re shipping a new API in Firefox Nightly that will let you use our Firefox AI runtime to run offline machine learning tasks in your web extension.
That's actually pretty cool, it could allow for an extension to locally hide certain types of content without using a full on blocklist. It could detect homophobic sentences and block that content for example. Or a more intelligent ad blocker that blocks sponsor messages and links. Could be used to detect SEO garbage websites from common patterns and hide them from search results. I see many useful use cases for this
Times I would use that: 0
Times I have wished FF desktop supported "installing" apps as PWAs: Infinity and beyond
Jeez, Mozilla, I really want to like you and donate, but your priorities are effed up.
For me it's 0 for both. Even on mobile where PWAs are supported I block PWA manifests in uBo since FF thinks that I am too dumb to handle having both "add to home screen" and "install" in the menu at the same time.
But we all have different preferences, I am sure there are some users who will enjoy the new feature.
