On Tuesday Mozilla quietly released an experimental plug-in for Firefox that connects the web with language, enabling users to perform common tasks more easily, CNET reports.
Called Ubiquity, the tool is the brainchild of Aza Raskin, whose father helped pioneer the Apple Mac, and has its origins in Firefox’s “smart bar” which offers suggestions for filling out partially-typed entries.
However, Ubiquity used a command-line interface so users can manipulate many basic web tasks, like mapping, shopping, or getting entries from certain sites. It’s accessed by typing Cntrl-Space for PCs and Command-Space on a Mac.
