About Smooth GPT
ChatGPT running slow? Smooth GPT kills the lag, stutter, and RAM drain in long conversations. Instant. Automatic.
You're 80 messages deep into a brilliant conversation and ChatGPT has turned into a slideshow. Scrolling stutters. Typing lags. Your tab is eating 2 GB of RAM for breakfast.
Smooth GPT fixes that. Install it, forget about it, enjoy a fast ChatGPT again.
No setup. No buttons. No nonsense.
── WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING ──
ChatGPT doesn't throw away old messages — it loads all 300 of them, renders every single one, and makes your browser suffer for it. Smooth GPT intercepts that before React gets anywhere near it.
▸ API trim — the big one
Strips old messages from the conversation payload before they ever touch the DOM. A 280-message chat goes from ~27,000 DOM nodes down to ~4,000. Typing lag: gone. Scroll stutter: gone. You control how many messages to keep (default: 80).
▸ Code block deflation
Got a chat full of code? Each syntax-highlighted block secretly contains hundreds of invisible <span> elements. Smooth GPT collapses off-screen code blocks to plain text and quietly rebuilds them as you scroll. DOM node count drops 60–90% in code-heavy conversations.
▸ Content-visibility + CSS containment
Tells the browser to skip rendering off-screen messages entirely, and wraps each message so that typing in the input box can't cause a full-page reflow. The typing-lag fix that should've been in ChatGPT from day one.
▸ Aggressive pruning (optional, off by default)
Full nuclear option. Physically removes off-screen messages from the DOM and replaces them with invisible placeholders. Flip it on if you're running a 500-message epic.
── PRIVACY — THE SHORT VERSION ──
Zero data collected. Ever. Everything runs locally in your browser. No servers, no accounts, no tracking. Your conversations stay yours.
── PERMISSIONS — WHY WE NEED THEM ──
• chatgpt.com & chat.openai.com — to actually do the work on ChatGPT pages.
• scripting & tabs — to show live stats in the popup (DOM node count, messages trimmed, etc.).
That's it. We don't touch any other site.
