Not artisan, but a perfectly fine bagel. Hits the spot.
Summary
Firefox is introducing a new 'shake to summarize' feature for iPhone users that generates AI-powered webpage summaries. The feature works by shaking the iPhone or accessing it through the address bar thunderbolt icon or menu options. On iPhone 15 Pro or newer with iOS 26, it uses Apple's on-device AI model, while older iOS versions will use Mozilla's cloud-based AI system to create and display summaries directly on webpages.

· 4 pulledFirefox will soon let you shake your iPhone to get an AI-generated summary of the webpage you're on.
The feature rolls out this week, and will operate using Apple's on-device AI model on the iPhone 15 Pro or newer once iOS 26 launches.
On older iOS versions, Mozilla will use its own cloud-based AI system to create summaries and insert them on top of the webpage.
Along with shaking your phone, you can also access AI-generated summaries by tapping the 'thunderbolt' icon in the address bar.
