Brave and Opera are adding AI-powered summaries to their browsers

While Microsoft continues to polish Bing Chat and Google preps its own AI chatbot, Bard, smaller alternative browsers Brave and Opera are making plans for AI, too. The two browser companies said that they will use AI to summarize articles, with Brave debuting the Summarizer today. Microsoft's latest beta version of Edge uses Bing's AI-powered chatbot to summarize articles that it finds on the Web, providing a concise explanation of their contents in the sidebar if asked. The Brave Summarizer is slightly different; instead, it uses its own AI-powered tools to examine a page of results and then summarize the findings. Brave provides its own search tools, and it is using the AI summation to replace the page-generated description with its own.
