ChatGPT Context Menu Extension

Are you frequently using ChatGPT to request suggestions like \"Come up with blog posts based on \" or seeking explanations with \"Explain \"? If so, this extension is perfect for you! Set your own custom prompts and simply highlight the text you need, right-click, and select \"Ask ChatGPT\" — it's that easy!

This extension adds a context menu (right-click) option to 'Ask ChatGPT' which sends your selected text to a ChatGPT chat window, formatting the prompt based on user-configurable options.

To use the GPT 4 model, enter a ChatID for a GPT4 chat in the extension options. This also ensures that the same chat is used every time, making the extension more reliable as it helps avoid \"one message at a time\" errors.

To get a ChatID, exchange a few messages with ChatGPT; you'll find the ID in the URL (e.g., chat.openai.com/chat/).

Feedback is welcome, please feel free to leave a review with any suggestions or bug reports. Yes I am aware that this is terribly written :3

Planned additions in order of how much I can be bothered to add them (most to least):
- Multiple Context menu options
- Option to change inner text of context menu button
- Toggle to open a ChatGPT iFrame that persists in the background, instead of a New Tab
- Plugin functionality (I'm waiting for beta access)

Deepika aaish (ID: 00000055f20c67e6) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 Waste of time. Why do you publish something that does NOTHING other than open chatgpt in another tab? Crazy publisher.
