About Browser Assistant

A simple dependency-free side panel extension that lets you chat with your current web page, using local or cloud models. - Summarize any page: one click to get a concise summary of the current tab - Ask questions: have a multi-turn conversation grounded in the page content - Web search: augment your questions with live search results (DuckDuckGo or Brave) - Screenshot support: send a visual snapshot of the page to vision-capable models - Attach local files: include a file from your computer alongside the page context - Markdown rendering: responses render with headers, lists, code blocks, bold/italic, and links - Export conversations: download the chat or an AI-generated summary as .md or .txt - Custom system prompt: fully editable with dynamic page and date/time variables - Configurable timeout: set how long to wait before a slow model is considered unresponsive - No telemetry or analytics: the extension does not include tracking or analytics code
