Fashion Your Firefox

Fashion Your Firefox

Mozilla says there are around five thousand separate add-ons for the Firefox browser, and over a billion add-ons have been downloaded to date. So now they’ve come up with Fashion Your Firefox, a novel tool to provide users with a custom set of add-ons.

Are you into music? Try the ‘Rock Star’ bundle, as a way to listen to and discover new music. There are also bundles for Decorators, Social Butterflies and others. It’s cute, but also fairly practical, according to David Rolnitzky, program manager in charge of add-ons for Firefox.

"In essence, it’s like having a shopping cart that you can use to select any add-on from the Fashion Your Fox collection, ‘check-out’ with just one click, and after a quick Firefox restart, have a whole new browser that’s made just for you."

Microsoft Copilot is invading your favorite chat apps

Telegram app download.

It's not just you -- Microsoft is putting Copilot just about anywhere, and now it's available on Telegram as a bot that's part of its "copilot-for-social" project. Windows Latest reports that to use the bot, you'll need to confirm your phone number by sending your contact in the chat. The company is expanding its AI integration into one of the most popular messaging apps, but it might not end there.

Microsoft claims that it won't save your phone number for anything other than verification, but it's needed because the service is currently unavailable for anyone in the EU, at least for now. If anyone in the EU tries to access it, they will be blocked.

You’ll soon be able to control your Chromebook with just your face

Chromebooks have AI too. Google's recent comments on its AI advances arrived between Microsoft's big Copilot+ announcement and the forthcoming Apple AI news. In addition to outlining a few new AI features that are now available for Google's Chromebook Plus line of laptops, Google previewed a fascinating feature coming later that would let you control the entirety of your Chromebook with just your face.

Using computer vision and the webcam built into your Chromebook, you'll soon be able to talk to it, move your face, and make hand gestures to control your Chromebook. Google calls it Project Gameface, and it's being built right into ChromeOS. The feature was originally announced via a blog post on May 10, and is aimed at creating a "hands-free, AI-powered gaming mouse," but now it's being expanded and is officially coming to Chromebooks.
