  For those that don't know, Firefox already has a built in AI assistant that you can use with your own models or point to external models

  It's a great product overall! However, as others have mentioned, if it can't be open source and requires granting strong permissions, I'm concerned about the security implications.

  Any plans to open source it?

  Hi hackers. I wrote an AI browser extension for chat with page.

  I know there are many existing tools like this. But every existed tools require me login before using it and I must use their AI models (which is the way they make money).

  So I write my own tools for it. The key features are:

  - No need to login, just use it

  - Use your own AI API key

  - Use your own custom prompt

  - Chat run entirely within the browser, without passing through any third-party servers
