About RFS — Regex From Selection
A Chrome extension that proposes multiple regex candidates at varying abstraction levels from text you select in the browser.
■ Highlights
・72 built-in detectors: email / URL / credit card / Japanese address / price / phone / UUID / GitHub token / JWT / dates / postal code / etc. Recognize known patterns instantly.
・Top-down generalization algorithm: even unknown patterns get parallel candidates at varying abstraction (character class, length).
・3-axis tuning: intent × domain × dialect
- intent: filter / extract / validate / replace / security / redact
- domain: spoiler / sns-ngword / forum-mod / data-extract / code-review
- dialect: JavaScript / Python / Java / Ruby / Go / PCRE / PostgreSQL / MySQL / BigQuery / YARA / HTML5 and more
・Quality scoring ranks candidates; the top pick is marked "Recommended".
・Inline tester: edit and verify the regex without leaving the popover.
・Switchable UI (Japanese / English).
■ How to use
1. Select any text on a page
2. Right-click → "Generate regex" (or press Alt+R)
3. The popover shows candidates ordered by quality
4. Click "Copy" on the one you want, or open "Tester" to fine-tune
■ About AI (Gemini Nano)
You can opt-in to use Chrome's built-in language model (Gemini Nano) for extra candidates. The AI layer is supplementary — the algorithm and the 72 detectors are designed to be useful on their own. Nano requires Chrome 128+ with chrome://flags enabled and a model download (~2 GB). Setup instructions are provided on the options page.
■ Privacy
Fully local. Selected text, generated regex, and any other data never leave your device. Even with AI enabled, processing happens inside Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano (on-device). See the privacy policy for details.
