Mozilla recently announced the discontinuation of Pocket and Fakespot features in Firefox as the organization wants to focus its limited resources on higher priority features in the Firefox web browser.
But Pocket and Fakespot weren’t the last of the cuts. We recently learned that the Deep Fake Detector and Orbit extensions are also heading to an early grave. Specifically, these two add-ons will be shut down on June 26th, 2025, per the notices on their respective pages.
Deep Fake Detector is an add-on for Firefox that uses the Apollo DFT engine to determine whether a text has been written by a human or an AI tool. Orbit is an add-on that can summarize articles and answer questions without sending your data to third parties.
In other words, if you still use either of these two Firefox extensions, then you only have a few weeks left to find suitable replacements.
