Add You.com as AI-ChatBot Provider

[jonaschu]

I'd like to suggest adding You.com as a supported provider for AI chatbot integration in Firefox. Currently, Firefox offers built-in support for Anthropic Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, HuggingChat by Hugging Face, and Le Chat Mistral. While this is a solid lineup, including You.com would significantly enhance the variety and flexibility of AI tools available to users.

Why?

• Support for Paid Users: Many users already have You.com Pro subscriptions. Allowing them to use their paid features directly within Firefox would be a great convenience and add real value to Firefox’s AI integration.

• Diverse AI Models: You.com leverages multiple AI models (closed and open ones) and allows for a unique blend of search and conversational capabilities, making it a strong alternative to existing options.

• User Choice & Privacy: More choice empowers users to select the AI service that aligns with their privacy expectations and usage style. You.com emphasizes privacy-conscious AI interactions, which is in line with Firefox's core values.

• Innovation-Friendly: You.com integrates tools like image creation, and multi-modal interaction in a single conversational flow — which could enrich the browsing and productivity experience for Firefox users.

• Custom Agents: You.com allows users to create custom agents, allowing for tailored interactions with the chatbot within Firefox to meet the user's specific needs.

Suggested Implementation:
Add You.com as an option under Firefox’s AI Chatbot menu (alongside Claude, ChatGPT, etc.)

This addition would not only promote diversity in AI tools but also reinforce Firefox’s role as a browser that champions user freedom and innovation. I hope this can be considered in future updates!
