Ironically, one good use for that would be to "exfiltrate" entire AI chats from Gemini/AI Studio as Markdown. Doing this by hand is tiresome and Google is obviously not too eager to make it easier (walled garden).

They seem to not be up to the load of moving this to all paid plans. I'm getting nothing but "Unable to initialize the chat session. Please check your connection and try again." which, from the plugin reviews, seems common.

I was already copying links of articles or the text of articles into LLMs to discuss things about the articles

So this fits my use case

I see the other arguments in the comments and they’re not relevant, insightful but there is a far simpler use case

I'm at the mercy of Claude at this point. It has full access. Does all my work. Anthropic knows everything. What a year! Got a LOT more done. But at what cost? (Not referring to the 100 EUR/m, haha)

How long until we get a "Critical vulnerability found in Claude's Chrome extension that enables attackers to control your browser remotely"

imho it is more elegant to do this way if you are not google than to spin off your own browser.

about privacy concerns - if you limit it to your work (and if your company is cool with data leakage risks), you can still do things like the video shows.

i do wonder if there could be more potential use cases if the underlying models also support audio. not for user input but rather audio playing in the browser.

I'm seriously not installing AI in my browser until I can install an extensively scrutinized FOSS model and run it on my own computer.

try out playwriter if you want an extension that connects to opencode or claude code instead, so it also has access to local files and bash.

for example I use it to file taxes: claude reads local pdf files and then writes the numbers in the page

Just switching (again) to Firefox. I think i will stay there. I hope mozilla does not go full in on AI only things.

Had great success with this prompt: “QA this website for me. Report all bugs”
