Review Mozilla 19433891: [meta] Link Previews

🔍 Bugzilla Audit

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1943389

Description

This is only a labs feature for now, and is behind the preference browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled, so we should be fine for ESR 140.

Allows the user to request a preview of a hovered/focused link. The page gets fetched and fed into a local machine learning box (I think), which summarises the page.

Seems similar to the translate feature in terms of potential problems.

An additional potential problem is the choice of Tor circuit for the pre-fetched page.
