Firefox’s Smart Window AI aims to boost browsing without taking over

Mozilla’s Firefox adds Smart Window, an opt-in AI browsing feature that can pull live web data and show source links via a partnership with Exa, while also organizing tabs and showing visual previews from your history. It supports multiple AI models (Gemini, OpenAI, Alibaba, or local) under a zero-data-retention policy, and Mozilla emphasizes a user-first, privacy-focused approach with configurable AI controls. Future updates may surface recent browsing journeys and offer AI autofill, but the feature remains optional and non-prescriptive to preserve a cookie‑cutter browser experience.

The company, founded by Harvard graduates Will Bryk and Jeff Wang, uses a novel algorithm to predict the next link rather than the next word, allowing AI models to perform web searches more effectively. Exa's search engine is already being used by companies like Databricks and has gained significant traction among developers.

Three AI-powered search engines worth trying out are Perplexity, which provides easy access to notable topics and offers detailed answers alongside sources and related media; You.com, a private search engine with customizable features and a traditional search engine option; and Exa, formerly known as Metaphor, which aims to filter the internet to provide precise knowledge for complex queries, offering direct answers rather than listicles.
