"As you may (or may not) know, Firefox has had "integrated" AI for some time. I place integrated in quotes because, unlike Opera's Aria, it's more of a sidebar where you can configure your AI of choice. The Firefox Chatbot sidebar includes multiple options, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Le Chat Mistral. With the 143 release, there's now a Copilot option to select."
"Click on Copilot and then, when prompted, click Continue. Once you've done that, you'll be presented with the Copilot chat, where you can sign in to your Microsoft account or use it anonymously. If you use it anonymously, you will have to verify you are human and not a robot using AI to do nefarious robot things (like bring about the singularity)."
"I've found the new Copilot feature works quite well in Firefox, and given how Google's passkey situation is such a mess, I can't sign in to Gemini, so that AI service is out of the question. Of course, you can use Gemini anonymously as well, which I actually prefer, since it prevents Google from using my prompts to generate a profile of me."
Firefox 143 is now available for download. The update introduces two major features alongside additional updates and routine bug fixes. One major addition is a cross-platform Copilot chatbot integrated into the Firefox Chatbot sidebar, which also offers ChatGPT, Gemini, and Le Chat Mistral as selectable AI options. Users can sign in to Copilot with a Microsoft account or use it anonymously, with anonymous mode requiring human verification and helping prevent prompt-based profiling. The other prominent feature in this release is limited to Windows. These changes aim to make Firefox more appealing to users who switched browsers.
