Rachel Shu (ID: 0000009c614ea0a5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/29/2023 Exactly as promised, simple extension that works smoothly and seamlessly. My main concern is that the developer may be able to read my chats. I would like more assurance that this is not the case than has been provided.

icon

Mads Vibæk-Nielsen (ID: 00000058608efce6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/24/2023 Works pretty well. The main issue I found is that pressing "Enter" does not send the prompt, but start a line break. If you could fix this (and use shift + enter for line break) I would give 5 stars
