the 'ai chatbot' in the 'lab' is different.

the chatbot is just basically an optional conduit between you and and a third party ai-powered 'search'/'chat' service, so that you can use firefox to access it.

you're still subject to any rules, policies, costs, account requirements, usage limits, etc. set by those third-parties.

BTW, Lab option works better privacy wise (than Add-on) if you have LLM running locally, IMO.
