TL;DR: Firefox AI now means two separate things: the AI chatbot sidebar Mozilla ships inside the browser, and the AI Firefox add-ons you install yourself. The built-in one is a shortcut to somebody else’s chatbot and is off until you switch it on. The add-ons do the actual work, and the three biggest by real adoption are Grammarly: AI Writing and Grammar Checker App (516,686 daily users, quality score 94/100), DeepL: AI translator and writing assistant (161,616 users, 84/100), and 划词翻译 (27,097 users, 70/100).
Last updated: 11 September 2026. Data snapshot: 11 September 2026, pulled from the Mozilla Add-ons (AMO) public API. Add-ons ranked: 95. Combined daily active users: 906,809.
Most Firefox AI coverage is either a Mozilla announcement or somebody’s opinion with affiliate links attached. This one is a measurement of the AI Firefox add-ons people actually run. Every number below comes from Mozilla’s own public API, and I have been snapshotting it daily since 18 July 2026 so I can show you who is big and, separately, who is growing.
I have tested more than 500 AI and SaaS tools with my own money over 15 years in software and SEO, and the pattern I keep finding is that adoption and opinion disagree more often than vendors would like. Firefox is the clearest example I have seen yet. Read on for the full ranked directory, the formula behind it, and the five things the raw data says that no editorial roundup will tell you.
Does Firefox have built-in AI?
Yes, and it is smaller than the headlines suggest. Firefox ships an AI chatbot sidebar: you pick a provider, and it opens in a panel beside the page so you can send a selection to it without switching tabs.
Mozilla does not run a model of its own for this. The sidebar is a shortcut to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Le Chat or HuggingChat, and you need an account with whichever you choose.
Alongside it sit two genuinely local features that get far less attention. Firefox generates alt text for images in PDFs using a small model that runs on your machine, and its full-page translation works offline once the language pack downloads. Neither sends the page anywhere.
How does Firefox AI compare to Chrome and Edge?
Mozilla chose to integrate the least of the three, deliberately. Microsoft builds Copilot into Edge as a first-party assistant with its own sidebar and page context.
Google is wiring Gemini through Chrome the same way. Firefox instead hands you a provider picker and keeps the generative AI outside itself, which is the whole argument Mozilla is making: the browser should not be the thing deciding which intelligence reads your tabs.
Whether that reads as principled or as falling behind depends on what you want from a browser, and the reaction has been split enough that “how to turn AI off in Firefox” is now a common search in its own right. What it means practically is that on Firefox the interesting AI capability lives in add-ons rather than in the browser, which is what the rest of this page measures.
The distinction matters for the rest of this page. The built-in sidebar gives you one chatbot in a panel.
The 95 AI Firefox add-ons ranked below give you writing help inside the compose box, translation that rewrites the page in place, summarizers that work on the article you are reading, and models running locally through Ollama. That is a different job, which is why 906,809 people install them anyway.
How do I turn Firefox AI on?
Open the sidebar, choose the AI chatbot, and pick a provider. If you prefer the settings route, it is under Firefox Settings in the AI section, where you also choose whether the sidebar shortcut appears when you highlight text.
How do I turn Firefox AI off?
The same place, and this is worth stating plainly because it is one of the most common things people search about Firefox AI. The chatbot is opt-in: it does nothing until you pick a provider.
To remove it entirely, clear the provider and disable the AI features in Settings. Mozilla has been adding a single AI preferences panel precisely so this is one switch rather than a hunt through `about:config`.
Nothing in the ranked directory below is affected by that setting. Add-ons are installed and removed independently of the built-in sidebar, so turning Mozilla’s AI off does not touch them.
Is Firefox AI private?
The local parts are: PDF alt text and offline translation run on your device. The chatbot sidebar is not, in the sense that anything you send goes to the provider you chose under that provider’s terms, exactly as if you had opened its website. Firefox is the window, not the service.
That is the honest answer to the privacy question, and it applies with more force to the add-ons below. An extension that summarizes the page you are on has to read the page you are on. The permissions each one requests are the thing to check before installing, and the AI Chrome extensions report makes the same point about the other browser.
The numbers worth quoting
- 95 AI Firefox add-ons met the inclusion bar as of 11 September 2026, with 906,809 combined daily active users.
- Grammarly: AI Writing and Grammar Checker App alone accounts for 57.0% of all AI add-on usage on Firefox (516,686 of 906,809 daily users).
- Language & Translation is 79.8% of the audience from just 13 add-ons, while Search Tools has the most add-ons (21) and only 6.6% of users.
- Zero of the 95 carry Mozilla’s Recommended badge, the label Mozilla gives add-ons that pass extra human review.
- 45 of 95 add-ons are built around ChatGPT, 25 reference Claude, and 19 reference Gemini.
- The median AI Firefox add-on has 1,582 daily users. Only three clear 10,000, and 35 sit under 1,000.
- 23 of 95 have not shipped an update in over 12 months, including ten with more than 2,000 daily users.
- Over 22 consecutive days of snapshots, 49 add-ons grew and 37 shrank. The fastest riser gained 127.5%.
- 7,326 total reviews across all 95 add-ons, from 92 distinct developers.
Every one of those figures is reproducible from the tables further down this page. If you want to cite them, the methodology and attribution line is at the bottom.
What counts as an AI Firefox add-on?
An AI Firefox add-on is a browser extension distributed through Mozilla Add-ons that adds AI capability directly into Firefox, usually as a sidebar, a toolbar button, or a right-click menu, so you do not need a separate tab or desktop app. Typical jobs are chat, writing help, summarizing, and translation.
The inclusion rule for this directory is deliberately strict, and it is the reason the count is 95 rather than several hundred. An add-on qualifies only if it is a genuine AI tool: either an AI term appears in its name, or a specific AI product such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini appears in its description. Two categories get removed by hand:
- Anti-AI utilities. Extensions whose whole purpose is to hide, block, or strip AI features answer a different question than “which AI tools should I add?”
- Incidental AI mentions. Ad blockers, password managers, VPNs, and screenshot tools that name-drop AI in their store copy but do not do anything with it.
That means popular Firefox extensions you might expect to see are missing on purpose. This is an AI-only directory, not a general “best Firefox extensions” list. Mozilla’s own built-in AI is covered separately above, because it is a browser feature rather than an add-on and the two get confused constantly.
The 10 best AI Firefox add-ons right now
| Rank | AI Firefox add-on | What it does | Rating | Daily users | Quality score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Grammarly: AI Writing and Grammar Checker App | Language & Translation | 4.1/5 (3,214) | 516,686 | 94/100 |
| 2 | DeepL: AI translator and writing assistant | Language & Translation | 4.2/5 (1,033) | 161,616 | 84/100 |
| 3 | 划词翻译 | Language & Translation | 4.3/5 (334) | 27,097 | 70/100 |
| 4 | Page Assist - A Web UI for Local AI Models | Other | 4.7/5 (76) | 9,321 | 62/100 |
| 5 | Simplify Copilot - Autofill job applications | Other | 4.2/5 (144) | 9,471 | 61/100 |
| 6 | chessvision.ai Chess Position Scanner | Games & Entertainment | 4.8/5 (79) | 4,382 | 58/100 |
| 7 | Definer: Word Translator, Ask AI, Popup Dictionary | Search Tools | 4.6/5 (146) | 3,679 | 58/100 |
| 8 | Claude Usage Tracker | Appearance | 4.9/5 (43) | 4,124 | 57/100 |
| 9 | AI Toolbox | Search Tools | 4.7/5 (53) | 4,040 | 56/100 |
| 10 | ChatGPT in Sidebar | Appearance | 5.0/5 (27) | 3,426 | 56/100 |
Three things stand out in that top ten.
First, the top three are all language tools, and they are not close to the rest. Grammarly: AI Writing and Grammar Checker App and DeepL: AI translator and writing assistant together hold 75% of every daily user in the directory. Everything from rank four down operates at a completely different scale.
Second, quality score drops off a cliff. Rank one scores 94/100, rank four scores 62/100, and rank ten scores 56/100. There is no crowded race at the top of AI on Firefox. There is one giant, one strong runner-up, and then a long tail.
Third, the middle of the top ten is genuinely surprising. A chess position scanner and a job-application autofill tool outrank most of the ChatGPT sidebars, because they have real user bases and better ratings than the sidebar category average.
Here is what I would actually say about the six add-ons in this directory I have used enough to have an opinion on:
Grammarly (rank 1) The default pick for most people. The free tier alone catches the errors that matter; the paid tier is really about tone and rewriting, not correctness. Works the same on Firefox as Chrome.
DeepL (rank 2) The translation quality is the reason to install this over a generic translator. Free tier is generous for occasional use; the writing-assistant side is newer and less essential than the core translate.
Page Assist (rank 4) The standout for privacy-minded users: it gives you a chat UI for local models (Ollama and friends) so your prompts never leave your machine. Needs a local model running, so it is not a plug-and-play pick for everyone.
WebChatGPT (rank 13) Adds live web results and a prompt/preset library to ChatGPT. Genuinely useful, but it is a companion to ChatGPT, not a standalone assistant. Check permissions before installing any ChatGPT add-on.
AI Subtitles & Immersive Translate (rank 14) Best-in-class for bilingual subtitles and inline video/page translation while you learn a language. Freemium, and the free limits are enough to try before you commit.
Superpower ChatGPT (rank 44) A power-user layer over ChatGPT: folders, search, bulk export, prompt history. Only worth it if you live in ChatGPT daily; casual users will not miss it.
How is the quality score calculated?
The Quality Score is a 0 to 100 composite of three public Mozilla Add-ons metrics: adoption at 45% weight, rating quality at 35%, and review-volume trust at 20%. No add-on can pay to raise its score or its placement, and the same formula runs on all 95 entries so the numbers are directly comparable.
The three inputs each answer a different question:
- Adoption (45%) uses average daily active users as reported by the AMO API, log-scaled and normalized across the dataset. Log-scaling matters: without it, Grammarly: AI Writing and Grammar Checker App’s half-million users would flatten every other add-on to zero and the ranking would just be a user-count list.
- Rating quality (35%) is the star rating out of 5, scaled to 100.
- Review-volume trust (20%) is the log of review count, normalized across the dataset. This is what stops a 5.0 rating from two reviews outranking a 4.5 from two thousand.
Two honest limitations. We do not compute a security score, because Mozilla publishes no per-add-on vulnerability feed comparable to the one we use for AI WordPress plugins. And the last-updated date in our tables comes straight from AMO with no adjustment.
The weighting is identical to the one behind our AI Chrome extensions report, which means a score of 62 means the same thing on both pages and you can compare a Firefox add-on against its Chrome counterpart directly.
Which categories hold the most AI Firefox add-ons?
Search Tools holds the most AI Firefox add-ons at 21, followed by Developer Tools at 16 and Language & Translation at 13. Adoption tells the opposite story: Language & Translation accounts for 723,577 of the 906,809 daily users, or 79.8% of the audience, from those 13 add-ons alone.
| Category | Add-ons | Combined daily users | Share of all users | Busiest add-on |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Search Tools | 21 | 60,273 | 6.6% | Copilot Launcher Button (7,646) |
| Developer Tools | 16 | 25,454 | 2.8% | Gemini Voyager (3,435) |
| Language & Translation | 13 | 723,577 | 79.8% | Grammarly: AI Writing and Grammar Checker App (516,686) |
| News & Blogging | 13 | 22,798 | 2.5% | YouTube Summary with ChatGPT & Claude (4,730) |
| Other | 12 | 36,140 | 4.0% | Simplify Copilot - Autofill job applications (9,471) |
| Appearance | 9 | 17,301 | 1.9% | Claude Usage Tracker (4,124) |
| Download Management | 4 | 7,702 | 0.8% | AI Exporter - Gemini to PDF & Sync to Notion (4,378) |
| Privacy & Security | 2 | 1,542 | 0.2% | Duck.ai Chat on Sidebar (982) |
| Social & Communication | 1 | 4,506 | 0.5% | ChatGPT Export (4,506) |
| Games & Entertainment | 1 | 4,382 | 0.5% | chessvision.ai Chess Position Scanner (4,382) |
| Tabs | 1 | 1,582 | 0.2% | Pinned ChatGPT (1,582) |
| Photos, Music & Video | 1 | 845 | 0.1% | Save ChatGPT as PDF (845) |
| Bookmarks | 1 | 707 | 0.1% | AI Chat Exporter (707) |
| All 13 categories | 95 | 906,809 | 100% | Grammarly (516,686) |
The gap between those two rankings is the single most useful thing in this dataset. Developers keep building AI search assistants and ChatGPT sidebars because they are the obvious thing to build. Firefox users keep installing writing and translation tools because that is what they actually need in a browser.
Look at the ratio. Language & Translation averages 55,659 daily users per add-on. Search Tools averages 2,870. Developer Tools averages 1,590. If you are shipping an AI extension, the crowded category and the profitable category are not the same category.
Category coverage also thins out fast. Six of the 13 categories contain one or two add-ons each, together holding under 1.5% of users. Privacy and Security has exactly 2 AI entries, which is striking given how much of the AI-in-browser conversation is about privacy.
How concentrated is AI add-on usage on Firefox?
Extremely. One add-on, Grammarly: AI Writing and Grammar Checker App, holds 57.0% of all AI add-on daily users on Firefox.
The top three hold 77.8%. The 85 add-ons ranked eleventh and below share 16.4% between them, which averages out to roughly 1,800 daily users each.
This is a winner-take-most market, and it changes how you should read any AI Firefox extension recommendation, including this one.
If a list tells you an add-on is “popular,” ask what that means numerically. On Firefox, an AI add-on with 5,000 daily users is in the top ten of its entire category.
That is a real audience, but it is 1% of Grammarly: AI Writing and Grammar Checker App’s. The median add-on here has 1,582 users, and 35 of the 95 have fewer than 1,000.
The practical takeaway: outside the top three, you are choosing from small projects, often maintained by one developer. 92 distinct developers publish these 95 add-ons, so there is almost no consolidation.
That is not a reason to avoid them. It is a reason to check the last-updated date and the review count before you install, which is exactly what the two sections below are for.
Do star ratings help you pick an AI Firefox extension?
Barely. Ratings on Mozilla Add-ons are clustered so tightly that they cannot separate good from bad on their own: 55 of the 95 AI add-ons (58%) sit at 4.0 stars or above, and the unweighted average across the whole directory is 4.02 out of 5.
The bigger problem is thin review bases. 24 of the 95 add-ons carry fewer than 10 reviews, and 1 has none at all. eight add-ons show a perfect 5.0: the best-supported of those has 27 reviews, and the remaining seven run on fewer, down to 1. A 5.0 from four people tells you almost nothing.
Weighting by review count moves the average from 4.02 to 4.10, which confirms that the heavily reviewed add-ons are slightly better than the lightly reviewed ones, but not dramatically so. Across all 95 add-ons there are only 7,326 reviews in total, and Grammarly: AI Writing and Grammar Checker App holds 3,214 of them.
Seven add-ons have 100 or more reviews. The other 88 are working with sample sizes a statistician would laugh at.
This is precisely why review volume gets its own 20% slice of the Quality Score rather than being folded into the rating. Rating tells you how people felt. Review count tells you whether to believe them.
One more absence worth naming: none of the 95 add-ons carry Mozilla’s Recommended badge. Mozilla awards that badge to extensions that pass additional human security and functionality review, and as of this snapshot not a single AI add-on has one. If you were hoping to use the Recommended filter as a safety shortcut for AI extensions, it does not currently help you.
Which AI Firefox add-ons are growing fastest?
ChatGPT in Sidebar grew 127.5% over the 22 days to 11 September 2026, from 1,506 to 3,426 daily users, the fastest growth in the directory. Overall the market shrank: of the 86 add-ons present in both the first and last snapshot, 49 gained users and 37 lost them.
Mozilla does not publish historical daily-user counts, which is why nobody else can show you this. The only way to get it is to snapshot the API every day and keep the file, which is what we have been doing since 18 July 2026.
The fastest-growing AI Firefox add-ons:
| Add-on | Daily users 2026-07-18 | Daily users 2026-09-11 | Change | % change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT in Sidebar | 1,506 | 3,426 | +1,920 | +127.5% |
| Default Search with Anthropic | 3,738 | 6,898 | +3,160 | +84.5% |
| AI Chat Exporter - Free, Private, OpenSource | 579 | 1,037 | +458 | +79.1% |
| ClaudeCodeBrowser | 1,179 | 1,825 | +646 | +54.8% |
| ChatGPT Export | 3,207 | 4,506 | +1,299 | +40.5% |
| Janitor AI Scraper | 1,346 | 1,816 | +470 | +34.9% |
| NotebookLM Tools for Gemini Notebook™ | 768 | 1,026 | +258 | +33.6% |
| Claude Counter | 906 | 1,189 | +283 | +31.2% |
three of the eight fastest risers are Claude-specific or Gemini-specific tools, and only two is ChatGPT-specific. That is a meaningful split in a directory where 45 of 95 add-ons are built around ChatGPT: the ChatGPT extension category is saturated and flat, while Claude and Gemini tooling is where new installs are going.
And the biggest losses in the same window:
| Add-on | Daily users 2026-07-18 | Daily users 2026-09-11 | Change | % change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grammarly: AI Writing and Grammar Checker App | 523,381 | 516,686 | -6,695 | -1.3% |
| DeepL: AI translator and writing assistant | 167,195 | 161,616 | -5,579 | -3.3% |
| 划词翻译 | 28,283 | 27,097 | -1,186 | -4.2% |
| Simplify Copilot - Autofill job applications | 9,745 | 9,471 | -274 | -2.8% |
| WebChatGPT: ChatGPT with internet access | 7,450 | 7,193 | -257 | -3.4% |
| Complexity | Perplexity AI Supercharged | 3,196 | 2,952 | -244 | -7.6% |
Grammarly: AI Writing and Grammar Checker App shed 6,695 daily users, DeepL: AI translator and writing assistant 5,579. The incumbents that hold most of the audience both lost ground, which is what pulls the whole directory down 1.8% over the period.
Read that carefully, though: a 1.3% decline on a half-million-user base is normal seasonal churn, not collapse. 22 days is a trend hint, not a verdict.
Which AI Firefox add-ons look abandoned?
Fifteen add-ons with more than 1,000 daily users have not shipped an update in over 12 months. Browser APIs, AI provider endpoints, and site layouts all change; an AI extension that has not been touched in years is very likely partly broken, and it still holds your page-access permissions either way.

| ChatGPT in Sidebar | 2025-09-05 | 6,556 | 3.9/5 |
For context, 34 of the 95 add-ons shipped an update in the last 30 days and 48 in the last 90, so the healthy half of this directory is genuinely active. The oldest entry still listed was last updated in December 2022.
I would treat anything in that table as install-at-your-own-risk, and I would look hardest at the ones with big user counts and old dates. 划词翻译 has 27,097 daily users on a August 2024 build. Copilot Launcher Button has 7,646 users on a February 2024 build, which makes it the number 6 most-installed AI add-on on Firefox running code over 2 year old.
The check takes ten seconds: open the add-on’s Mozilla Add-ons page, look at “Last updated,” and if it is over a year old, read the recent reviews before installing.
Best AI Firefox add-ons by use case

How do you install an AI Firefox add-on?
Open the add-on’s Mozilla Add-ons link from the table above, click “Add to Firefox,” then confirm the permissions prompt. The extension’s icon appears in your toolbar, where you can right-click to pin or manage it. Most AI sidebar and assistant add-ons then work straight away from that button or a right-click menu.
Before you confirm that permissions prompt, read it. Nearly every AI assistant asks for permission to read and change data on the pages you visit, because that is genuinely how it works: it cannot summarize a page it cannot see. That is not automatically a red flag, but it does mean an AI extension is one of the most privileged things you can install in a browser.
My install checklist, in order:
- Check the last-updated date. Over 12 months old and I do not install it. That rule alone removes 23 of the 95 add-ons on this page.
- Check the review count, not just the rating. Under 10 reviews means the rating is noise. Prefer add-ons with an established base.
- Read the permissions prompt. If a tool that only reformats one website asks for access to all sites, close the tab.
- Prefer a local model if the content is sensitive. Page Assist exists precisely so your prompts can stay on your machine.
- Install one at a time. Two AI sidebars fighting over the same keyboard shortcut is a bad afternoon.
Are AI Firefox extensions free? Nearly all install at no cost from Mozilla Add-ons. Most then run a freemium model: core features are free, and heavier usage such as higher limits or premium models needs a paid plan the add-on itself sells. Pricing changes independently of this directory, so check the add-on’s own listing for current numbers.
What this data says about AI on Firefox
Five conclusions I would stand behind, all of them falsifiable from the tables above:
- AI on Firefox is a translation and writing story, not a chatbot story. 79.8% of usage sits in one category, and it is not the one developers are building for.
- The market is a monopoly with a long tail. One add-on at 57.0%, then 85 add-ons sharing 16.4%.
- Ratings are close to useless as a filter here, with 58% of add-ons above 4.0 and 24 carrying fewer than 10 reviews.
- Claude and Gemini tooling is where the growth is. three of the eight fastest risers, against two ChatGPT-specific add-on, despite ChatGPT tools being 47% of the directory.
- Maintenance is the real risk, not quality. Fifteen add-ons with real user bases are running code over a year old, and no AI add-on has Mozilla’s Recommended badge to fall back on.
“The most useful thing about ranking add-ons on public data instead of opinion is how often it embarrasses the consensus. Every roundup I read said AI browsing on Firefox was about ChatGPT sidebars. The install numbers say it is about Grammarly and DeepL, and the growth numbers say the next wave is Claude. You only see that if you commit to the same formula for every entry and then publish the formula.”
Alston Antony, founder of zplatform.ai and Senior Digital Marketing Manager at Brainstorm Force
If you also run Chrome, our AI Chrome extensions report is scored on the identical formula, so you can compare the two ecosystems directly. To add AI inside your own site rather than your browser, start with the best AI WordPress plugins.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best AI extension for Firefox?
By combined adoption, rating, and review volume, Grammarly is the best AI extension for Firefox with a quality score of 94/100 and 516,686 daily active users. For translation specifically, DeepL scores 84/100. For private, local AI, Page Assist scores 62/100 and keeps your prompts on your own machine.
Are AI Firefox extensions safe to install?
Safety depends on the add-on’s permissions and its developer, not on it being AI. Mozilla reviews add-ons before listing them, but you should still read the permissions prompt, prefer add-ons with a large established review base, and avoid anything not updated in over a year. Note that none of the 95 AI add-ons currently hold Mozilla’s Recommended badge.
How many AI add-ons are there for Firefox?
There are 95 genuine AI add-ons on Mozilla Add-ons as of 11 September 2026, holding 906,809 combined daily active users. That count applies a strict AI-only rule: extensions that merely mention AI in passing, and extensions built to block AI features, are excluded by hand.
Why is my favourite Firefox add-on not on this list?
This is an AI-only directory. Ad blockers, password managers, VPNs, and screenshot tools are excluded even when their store copy mentions AI, and so are extensions whose purpose is to remove AI features. If an add-on is genuinely AI-first and missing, it most likely fell outside the AMO search terms this build uses.
How often is this AI Firefox add-ons list updated?
The underlying dataset is rebuilt from the Mozilla Add-ons API and republished here, with the snapshot date shown at the top of the page. Daily user counts have been captured every day since 18 July 2026, which is what makes the growth and decline figures in this report possible.
Methodology and how to cite this data
Source: Mozilla Add-ons (AMO) public API v5, plus 22 first-party daily snapshots of user counts taken between 18 July 2026 and 11 September 2026.
Sample: 95 AI-first Firefox extensions, 906,809 combined daily active users, 7,326 reviews, 92 distinct developers, 13 Mozilla categories.
Ranking formula: Quality Score = 45% adoption (log of average daily active users, normalized 0 to 100 across the dataset) + 35% rating score (rating out of 5, scaled to 100) + 20% trust score (log of review count, normalized 0 to 100 across the dataset).
Inclusion: AI-first only. An add-on is listed when an AI term appears in its name, or a specific AI product such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini appears in its description. Anti-AI utilities and incidental AI mentions are removed by hand.
Not measured: Security. Mozilla publishes no per-add-on vulnerability feed, so no security score is computed. Last-updated dates are passed through from AMO unmodified.
No paid placement: No add-on paid for inclusion, position, or a higher score. Ranking is entirely formula-driven from public metrics, which you can verify against any add-on’s Mozilla Add-ons listing.
Cite as: zplatform.ai, “Best AI Firefox Add-ons (Extensions): Real Usage Numbers Report,” data snapshot 11 September 2026.
Every figure on this page is drawn from the tables above, so if you quote a number you can point a reader at the row it came from. That is the whole point of publishing the formula alongside the ranking: the best AI Firefox extensions for you depend on the job you need done, and you should be able to check my working rather than take my word for it.
