About GPT Cleaner
π GPT Cleaner: Experience a Lightning-Fast ChatGPT, No Matter How Long the Chat!
As you use ChatGPT for long research sessions, coding projects, or creative writing, the page often becomes laggy, unresponsive, and hard to scroll. This happens because your browser is forced to render hundreds of complex messages, heavy code blocks, and markdown elements all at once.
GPT Cleaner fixes this by introducing DOM Virtualization to the ChatGPT web app.
==================================
β¨ WHAT IT DOES
==================================
βοΈ Smart Pruning: It keeps only the most recent messages rendered in your browser.
π§ Memory Optimization: Older messages are "virtualized" (kept in memory but removed from the page layout), drastically reducing RAM usage and CPU load.
βΎοΈ Infinite Scroll: Simply scroll up to instantly restore older messages in batches. It's seamless and preserves your scroll position perfectly without jumping.
==================================
π APP FEATURES & CAPABILITIES
==================================
ποΈ Fully Customizable Slider: You are in control. Use the sleek popup slider to choose exactly how many messages you want to keep visible (from 5 up to 50).
π¨ Adaptive Theme Sync: Whether you prefer Light Mode or Dark Mode, the extension popup automatically syncs with your ChatGPT theme for a native, seamless look.
π Real-Time Metrics: See exactly how many messages are safely virtualized and view a live estimate of the MB of RAM you are saving.
β‘ Instant Actions:
- Restore All: Need everything back? Bring all your messages back to the screen instantly with one click.
- Re-Optimize: Manually trim the chat down to your preferred limit after scrolling up through old history.
==================================
π― WHY YOU SHOULD INSTALL IT
==================================
β Zero Lag: Type, edit, and scroll with zero latency, even in massive chats with 200+ messages.
β Improved Stability: Prevents annoying browser tab crashes, page unresponsiveness, and "high memory" warnings.
β Lightweight & Private: Operates 100% locally. No data ever leaves your machine or is sent to external servers. It works entirely within your browser to optimize your local experience.
==================================
π§βπ» IDEAL FOR
==================================
- Software Engineers & Developers pasting long code snippets and debugging workflows.
- Writers & Researchers building massive documents, chapters, or literature reviews in a single thread.
- Power Users who prefer keeping a single, continuous context alive rather than starting new chats.
==================================
π HOW TO USE
==================================
1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Open ChatGPT and continue your long conversations as usual. The extension will automatically kick in once your chat exceeds the visible limit!
3. Click the Extension Icon in your Chrome toolbar to view live memory savings, adjust the visible message limit via the slider, or manually trigger a clean-up.
4. Scroll Up anytime to seamlessly read your older messages.
==================================
β€οΈ FREE & OPEN SOURCE
==================================
This extension is completely free and built transparently for the community. No ads, no tracking, and no premium tiers.
