I don't feel like I want AI in my browser. I'm not sure what I'd do with it. Maybe translation?

yeah, translation, article summarization, asking questions from a long wiki page... and maybe with some agents built-in as well: parallelizing a form filling/ecom task, having the agent transcribe/translate an audio/video in real time, etc

All this would allow for a further breakdown of language barriers, and maybe the communities of various languages around the world could interact with each other much more on the same platforms/posts

I like translation, it's come in handy a few times, and it's neat to know it's done locally.

FWIW, Firefox already has AI-based translation using local models.
