AI in the browser

BillDietrich — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 21:31:04 GMT

Some interesting uses of AI in a browser might be buttons to:

- tell me if this web page looks like a scam or attack

- find other articles like the one in this page, either agreeing or disagreeing or giving more info about same subject

- find where the subject of this article is treated in sources I mostly trust, such as Wikipedia or Arch Wiki or manufacturer's web site or something

- find where the subject of this article is being discussed, on the social networks I belong to

- sanity-check this article: do the citations exist and the links work, are the quotes accurate, does it fairly represent the sources it cites or links to ?

- in all my open tabs and my browsing history for the last 7 days, where is the page that more-or-less said X about subject Y ?

- add a link to this page, and a 1-paragraph summary of it, to my: notes app, bookmark app, web site, new post on social media, or email to my friends

- do the recommendations in this article apply to anything in my: computer, network, work, school, finances, life ?

Two more items:

- right-click and: find more images "similar" to this one

- why won't this page load ? When you get to a certain critical mass of privacy and security measures, it gets hard to figure out what a site is objecting to. VPN ? DNS-blocker in VPN ? Firefox ? Tracker-blocker in FF settings ? Ad-blocker ? Linux ? Location disabled ? WebRTC disabled ? Canvas disabled ? Fact that I reside in Spain ?
