Apogee rebuilds Mozilla's Orbit as a local, private tool
Original: Show HN: Apogee: Rebuilding Mozilla's Orbit, fully local and private
A developer has released Apogee, an open-source project rebuilding Mozilla's Orbit, the browser extension that used AI to summarise and answer questions about web pages. Mozilla discontinued Orbit, and Apogee recreates the concept while running fully locally so users' browsing data never leaves their device. Commenters on Hacker News are evaluating the privacy claims and how well the local implementation performs.
Why now: Privacy-conscious users are interested in a community revival of a discontinued Mozilla tool that keeps AI processing on-device.
