Firefox is equipped with AI Perplexity, what does it do?
AI-based answer engine integration into Firefox
Mozilla, a well-known browser developer company, has officially introduced the integration of the artificial intelligence (AI) based answer engine from Perplexity AI into the Firefox browser. This gives users a new option in searching for information on the internet. Users can now choose to use AI services that are able to browse the web and produce answers that are more informative than traditional search methods.
This announcement was made after Mozilla tested the integration of Perplexity in several countries such as the United States, Britain, and Germany. After getting a positive response from users, the company decided to expand the service’s access to the Firefox desktop version. Mozilla also stated that support for mobile devices will be available in the next few months.
With this integration, Perplexity offers a different search experience. The search results displayed are not only a list of links, but also complete answers equipped with reference sources. The Perplexity option will appear in the unified search button on the site address bar. Users can set Perplexity as the default search engine through the Firefox settings menu.
If this trial runs smoothly, Mozilla is committed to adding more AI answer engines or other search options in the future. One of the reasons why Perplexity was chosen is because the company will not share or sell the user’s personal data, thus providing a better level of privacy.
Other new features in Firefox
In addition to adding AI search options, Mozilla also announced that the browser profiles feature is now available to all users after going through a period of testing and gradual launch. This feature allows users to switch between browser profiles as needed, such as for work, school, or personal use. With this feature, users can manage their online activities more structured and efficiently.
In addition, Mozilla is still in the process of testing the visual search feature using Google Lens for desktop users who use Google as the main browser. This feature is expected to improve the visual search experience and help users find information faster and more accurate.
Conclusion
The integration of Perplexity AI into Firefox marks an important step in the development of a more intelligent search technology and focuses on user privacy. With the addition of new features such as browser profiles and visual search, Mozilla continues to strive to provide a better browsing experience and is in accordance with the needs of modern users.
