SummaryDeveloper rebuilt Mozilla's discontinued Orbit browser summarizer as Apogee, a fully local and private extension. It connects to local Ollama instances, uses WebGPU on Chrome and Transformers.js on Firefox, and summarizes articles, YouTube, Wikipedia, Hacker News, and Reddit threads without sending data externally.
Why it mattersWorking local-first browser summarizer shipped by its author, with Chrome and Firefox builds live — a concrete reference for routing AI inference through local models instead of cloud APIs.
