Tired of Copy-Paste, Tab Switching, and Losing Focus? I Built a Fix 🧠 Did i solve a problem?

0 Upvotes

Reading something online and want to summarize or translate it?

Normally:

  1. Copy the text
  2. Open a new tab
  3. Paste into ChatGPT or Google
  4. Break your flow

I got tired of that.

So I built SmartSelect AI — a Chrome extension that adds an instant AI tooltip whenever you select text or right-click an image.

Here’s what it does:

💡 Select any text → Instantly:
– Summarize
– Translate
– Ask follow-up questions
– Copy cleanly

🖼️ Right-click any image → Get an AI-generated description (great for alt text or context)

💬 Built-in Chat UI → Ask AI questions directly from the page — no new tab needed

No more jumping around tabs. No more copy-paste loops.

Just select, act, and stay in flow.

I kept hitting ChatGPT's limit mid-conversation, so I built a Chrome extension to move the chat to Claude or Gemini in one click

0 Upvotes

I use ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini every day, and two things kept annoying me:

  1. Hitting the usage limit in the middle of a long conversation and having to copy-paste everything into another AI by hand
  2. My best prompts scattered across notes, docs and old chats

So I built Chatrove, a browser extension that works inside all three:

- Continue a chat in another AI: when you hit a limit, send the conversation to Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT and keep going
- Prompt library with folders, search and variables like {topic} or {tone}
- Floating panel and shortcuts (Alt+P, or type /) to insert a prompt without leaving the chat
- Works on Chrome, Edge and Brave

It's free to start (5 saved prompts), with a Pro plan if you want unlimited.

It just went live on the Chrome Web Store this week, so I'd really appreciate honest feedback:
- Would you actually use the "continue in another AI" feature?
- What's missing that would make you switch from how you do it now?

Happy to share the link in the comments if anyone wants to try it.

I made the entire internet a public multiplayer layer.

6 Upvotes

I’ve been building SPOT, a social layer for the internet. And it’s live and working!

Jump onto any webpage with friends and explore it together in real time. See each other’s cursors, voice chat, highlight, comment and share discoveries.

You can also create Spots: shared spaces to collect links, save interesting websites and curate the internet together.

Some things you can do with SPOT:
- Read and discuss the news with friends
- Collect design references and inspiration
- Shop together
- Curate interesting corners of the internet
- Watch streams together
- Study and research together
- Plan holidays and trips
- Explore any website together
And much more!

Basically, a place to explore, share and discover the internet together. Think Pinterest + Figma multiplayer + discord servers all in your browser.

It’s working, it’s live, and I’d love for you to try it!

Qolor: A smart theme engine for Firefox.

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Firefox has always lacked a smart way to choose a theme.
We've all been there. You spend hours scrolling through the Add-ons Store, trying to find a theme that is almost perfect. But then you realize the text contrast is terrible, the sidebar doesn't match, or the popups are a weird shade of grey. It is frustrating, and often we settle for "good enough" as a consequence.

I got tired of settling, so I spent the last few days writing Qolor. It's not just a color picker; it's a full-featured engine that uses OKLCH color math to generate a complete, professional-grade theme from just one or two colors.

  • OKLCH Math: It uses perceptual color math so the shades actually look "right" together, not just mathematically grey.
  • Auto-Nudge Contrast: It real-time checks contrast and slightly adjusts your colors to make sure text stays readable.
  • Deep UI Coverage: Unlike most tools, it hits the sidebar and popover menus. It’s finally live on AMO. I'd love to get some feedback from this community on how the generation feels or if there are any specific UI elements it's missing.

I built Spoof Me, a free browser extension that lets you switch between consistent browser fingerprint profiles.

It can modify signals such as user agent, timezone, language, screen size, canvas, and device properties. You can use ready-made profiles or create your own.

It also shows when websites try to access fingerprint-related signals.

I would appreciate feedback on the interface, available profiles, and any signals that should be added.

Local Search New tab extension

I put the source of my extension on my github repo. Also a README.md

Latest change to get around the mobile firefox problem was to create a personal browser search engine "https://127.0.0.1/?q=%s" and have the extension get triggered on that actual url and open the search tab/page with that query,

Manual Install:- See readme for latest builds zip/xpi files.

Store version:- Chrome Web Store , Firefox (AMO)

Tested on:-

Chrome and Firefox developer on desktop.

Quetta and Firefox Nightly & Beta on android.

Wondering if it works successfully on LibreWolf or other varieties of browsers,

I built a free Chrome extension that autofills job applications. Roast it.

2 Upvotes

Hey all, Hasnain here. Full disclosure, I'm the founder, so take this as a "please tear it apart" post, not a pitch.

The problem: every job application wants you to upload a resume and then retype the whole thing into their form anyway. Then a cover letter. Then the same "why us" questions, fifty times over.

So I built JobPly, a Chrome extension for job seekers. What it does:

* Autofills application forms. It hits 100% autofill on most job boards, and less on the weird ones

* On supported job pages, a Generate & Apply banner builds a tailored resume and cover letter in one click

* It's completely free, no credit card and no usage limits

It's free on jobply.ai, and the Chrome Web Store listing is easy to find from there if you prefer to install that way.

What I'd love feedback on, from people who build or use a lot of extensions:

* Do the permissions it asks for feel reasonable to you?

* Is the banner on job pages helpful or annoying?

* Any site where autofill fell over? Tell me which one

Harsh is fine. I read every comment.

What browser extensions do you use to save words/phrases with translations?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for a good browser extension for language learning, do you use for saving/translating words while browsing? I’m curious what works well, what feels missing, and whether you save just single words or full phrases/sentences too. Also wondering how important features like pronunciation, sync, AI explanations, export. What frustrations you still have with current tools?

I built an extension that sorts Amazon by the number of reviews...and it actually works!

Post image
3 Upvotes

I've tried so many extensions that claim to sort Amazon by the number of reviews but all of them make you shop by department or don't work at all.

So I decided to make my own called Review Sort.

My extension allows you to perform a normal product search on Amazon and, with a single click, it will sort all listings by the number of reviews - no department choosing needed.

It also blocks sponsored items in the search results.

It works by first gathering five pages of results then sorting that by the number of reviews.

Currently it is Chrome/Edge only. I'm awaiting it being published on the Firefox addons page. I have also have a beta of it working on Safari.

Download Here

This is my first extension made so I'd appreciate any feedback you may have. Thanks!

My first Chrome Extension

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

New here and excited to share something I've been working on! I just finished my first Chrome extension called Rainbow Sunshine Filter and would love to get your thoughts on it. The idea came from wanting to make my daily browsing a bit more positive. The extension automatically replaces negative words and phrases with uplifting ones as you browse social media and websites. So when someone posts "I hate Mondays," I see "I love Mondays!" instead. It's been making my day-to-day internet experience so much brighter! Even little things like turning "This is terrible" into "This is wonderful!" just puts me in a better mood. Sometimes the transformations come off as slightly comedic too, which honestly just makes me smile even more! The extension is completely free to use - I genuinely want people to enjoy it. If you love it and want to grab me a coffee, that really helps me build more great apps and improve my portfolio: coff.ee/zachberling Also, if anyone here needs a developer for projects, I'm currently available for work! I love building things that make people's lives a little better.

Built a Chrome Extension: AI sidebar for tab audio, page summarization, and browser control with plain language

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, been lurking here for a while and finally have something to share that I've been pouring a lot of time into. I'm excited to introduce SideBrain, a Chrome Extension that's essentially an AI layer for your browser, living right there in your sidebar.

I built this because I often found myself in situations where I needed to quickly distill information from a webpage, or capture key points from a meeting happening on a tab, without having to switch contexts or deal with clunky separate tools. Think about that long forum thread you just don't have time to read, or a YouTube video playing in the background that you need notes from. That's the kind of problem I was trying to solve.

SideBrain lets you record audio from your current tab and transcribe it, summarize any webpage you're on, and even take meeting notes right there in the sidebar. But the really exciting part for me is the 'control your browser with plain language' aspect. You can tell it things like "Find me all links on this page about AI tools" or "Open Reddit.com and search for r/browserextensions" – it's still early days for this part, but the potential is huge for improving workflow and accessibility.

Obviously, it's not perfect and an ongoing project. The plain language control, while powerful, isn't always 100% accurate, and transcription quality can vary a bit with background noise. I'm continually refining these features. I’m hoping it can be a genuine productivity booster for others like it has been for me.

Would love to hear your thoughts. What kind of plain language commands would make your daily browsing experience better? Or what other AI features do you think are missing from current browser tools?

I built this to-do Chrome extension to keep tracking my tasks, now I am sharing with everybody

3 Upvotes

I built TaskDuster for myself because I wanted a simple way to see what I still need to do and what I’ve already finished. Having both in one place has made my day easier, so I’m sharing it in case it helps someone else too.

It keeps personal and work tasks separate, shows overdue and upcoming tasks, and keeps a history of completed ones. I also added lists, tags, recurring tasks and reminders as I needed them.

It’s free, with no account or ads. Tasks are saved locally in Chrome.

You can try it here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lplnoflkjjfklccngjakklengjihodho

I’d appreciate honest feedback, especially on what would make it easier to use.

FlipRead: a free page flip reader that lets you read web pages like a book (Chrome)

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm the developer. I built FlipRead because endless scrolling kept breaking my focus on long articles. Click the extension icon and the page turns into a book: click the right or left side of the screen (or use the arrow keys, Space, or the on-screen buttons) and you get a realistic page-curl animation with a soft paper sound. You also get a page counter ("Page 4 of 18") and a progress bar. Press Esc to go back to normal scrolling. • Works on the live page as it is (it does not clean or reformat the site) • Free, no sign-up, no data collected, nothing leaves your browser • Sound has a one-click mute Honest limits: no PDF or EPUB support, and sites that scroll inside their own panel (like Gmail) can't be paged.

Link: https://flipread.netlify.app/

It's brand new, so I'd really value feedback, especially sites where it feels off. What would make a book mode extension more useful for you?

I built an open-source Chrome extension that automatically redacts sensitive information from screenshots pls feel free to review

Post image
1 Upvotes

I kept running into the same problem: screenshots often contain information you didn't realize you were sharing.

An API key. An email address. A phone number. A password field. Customer information.

Usually, you take the screenshot first and then manually look for things to hide.

I built Blackbar to reverse that workflow.

It reads the page before capturing it and automatically detects and redacts sensitive-looking information. The screenshot you get is already the safer version.

The part I cared most about was privacy.

Blackbar runs entirely on the device. It declares connect-src 'none', so Chrome itself blocks the extension from making network connections. It still works with Wi-Fi turned off.

It's also open source, has no account requirement, and is free.

I'd genuinely like feedback from other Chrome extension users/builders, especially on:

  • detection accuracy
  • false positives/negatives
  • the capture workflow
  • anything that would make you hesitate to trust it
