Artificial intelligence is steadily permeating a wide range of applications. While companies like Google and Microsoft are primarily focused on developing AI models, Mozilla has yet to introduce one of its own. Nevertheless, Firefox is actively working to integrate more AI-powered features into its browser.
A newly uncovered—though still under development—feature is link previewing. The concept is elegantly simple: when a user hovers the mouse over a hyperlink while browsing in Firefox, the browser will invoke an AI service to automatically fetch and generate a summary of the linked page, then display it to the user.
In essence, users can preview the contents of a webpage without clicking through. If the summarized content appears irrelevant or uninteresting, the user can simply move on—streamlining the browsing experience. From a practical standpoint, this functionality could prove quite valuable.
The AI-generated previews will present key information from the destination page, such as a concise summary. For full details, however, the user would still need to click the link. This approach enables Firefox to strike a balance between enhancing user experience and preserving referral traffic for websites, ensuring users don’t bypass visiting a page altogether.
Notably, Google has also introduced a similar feature in Chrome. However, unlike Firefox, Chrome currently does not utilize AI for its summaries. It is expected, though, that Google will eventually transition to an AI-driven model—potentially offering even more accurate and context-aware previews.
