Latest nightly builds of Firefox 139 include an experimental web link preview feature which shows (among other things) an AI-generated summary of what that page is purportedly about before you visit it, saving you time, a click, or the need to ‘hear’ a real human voice.

    Well, it is sending it off your device to the AI’s API. Luckily it won’t have any id information, such as cookies, screen size, OS, IP, etc.

    The problem seems to be with the word luckily.

      Huh? The article says:

      it is generated locally, on your device

      Did I misread something?

      (Agreed that this should be the norm and not luck.)
