  • What Firefox provides here:

    A connector to LLM providers.
    Accelerators (context menu options).
    

    From a coding perspective, this should ideally be a very lightweight functionality.

    This feature is very analogous to options to add a search engine, and also to provide accelerators via context menu.

    While it can be done via third-party or Official Mozilla add-ons, but (to me) it still makes sense to have it part of the product.


  • If you’re using a VPN at the OS or browser level, just like any other traffic, your query to the LLM service will be routed via the VPN. That VPN could be any VPN of your choice - Firefox VPN, Mullvad, or Proton etc.

    The only problem is that most LLMs require a profile/login to work with. In such cases, using a VPN will be useless, as the LLM server will know who you are.
