This year, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/firefox\/shake-to-summarize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Firefox\u2019s Shake to Summarize feature<\/a> made\u00a0the list for bringing a smart solution to a modern user problem: information overload.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a single shake or tap, users on iOS devices can get to the heart of an article in seconds. The cool part? Summaries adapt to what you&#8217;re reading: recipes pull out the steps for cooking, sports focus on game scores and stats, and news highlights the key takeaways from a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to see Firefox earn a TIME Best Inventions 2025 Special Mention! Our work on Shake to Summarize reflects how Firefox is evolving,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/firefox\/promoted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anthony Enzor-DeMeo<\/a>, general manager of Firefox. \u201cWe\u2019re reimagining our browser to fit seamlessly into modern life, helping people\u00a0browse with less clutter and more focus. The feature is also part of our efforts to give mobile users a cleaner UI and smarter tools that make browsing on the go fast, seamless, and even fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"On Firefox for iOS, shake your phone for a TL;DR\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pJb-2vnorQU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Launched in September 2025 and currently available to English-language users in the U.S., Shake to Summarize generates summaries using Apple Intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro or later running iOS 26 or above, and Mozilla-hosted AI for other devices running iOS 16 or above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis recognition is a testament to the incredible work of our UX, design, product, and engineering teams who brought this innovation to life, showcasing that Firefox continues to lead with purpose, creativity, and a deep commitment to user-centric design. Big thank you!\u201d added Enzor-DeMeo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Firefox team is working on making the feature available to more users and for those on Android.
