Looks amazing. Would love something like this in Firefox or Zen. Mozilla released Orbit, but it was never something that ended up really being useful.

If you click the three-dots menu above the iframe, you can select "Show shortcut when selecting text". That allows you to select text and then provide that as context to an AI prompt.
(At least, that's how I understand it - I have the feature turned off myself.)
Thank you! :)
Would love to explore a FF port. Right now, there are a couple of tight Chrome dependencies:
- CDP - mostly abstracted away by Playwright so perhaps not a big lift
- IndexedDB for storing memories and potentially other user data - not sure if there's a FF equivalent
FF supports IndexedDB directly, it has supported it, fully, since version 16 [0].
Firefox already has something similar natively, but it's not enabled by default. If you turn on the new sidebar they have an AI panel, which basically looks like an iframe to the Claude/OAI/Gemini/etc chat interface. Different from Orbit.
