Latest nightly builds of Firefox 139 include an experimental web link preview feature which shows (among other things) an AI-generated summary of what that page is purportedly about before you visit it, saving you time, a click, or the need to ‘hear’ a real human voice.

Ideally it would do that for links. As in, hover and it gives like a 2-sentence summary. In your example, the summary could say something like:

Cashews are pretty good for you, but almonds are better. The article discusses micronutrient differences between the two.

Or something like that.
