For those who are keen to upgrade their browsing experience, the ChitChat ChatGPT Sidebar extension is a great tool to try out. This extension gives users access to Chatbot capabilities directly in their browser, helping them generate summaries, ask questions, source similar webpages and more. All of this can be done without having to leave the page they are currently viewing.
ChitChat Sidebar lives in the bottom-right corner of the browser for easy access, and users can quickly bring it up with Command/Control + P. It also features a Quick Lookup popup bar, which is displayed when users highlight a section of text. For disabling or configuring this feature, users can go to the Settings or Sidebar section.
For using this extension, there are three ways: use ChitChat by itself, powered by a free OpenAI account or through OpenAI’s pay-as-you-go plan. Depending on the plan, users may need to keep the ChatGPT window open in the background at all times and can choose to pin it to the browser. This is made easy with the OpenAI’s plan which provides reliable and affordable access to the extension.
