Small Town Dev (ID: 0000003f047cc65c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/23/2023 Such a handy extension for browsing efficiently on the web anyday! Been trying this out with PDFs and Twitter/X and let me tell you, it does wonders to your productivity. And a major benefit of having this as an extension is privacy, you only interchange data with the original OpenAI API. Thank you for this :)
