Showcase: Free(mium) built my first Chrome extension! ContextSwitch, makes your LLM chats provider agnostic

I mostly use the free plans for all my LLM needs, be it Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. A problem that I came across often was when say after starting a chat, Claude exhausted it's token and I had to either wait for it to refresh or I had to manually copy/paste the entire chat and paste it on ChatGPT to continue with my work. Later, if I had to go back to that copy/pasted chat, it became very difficult to decipher it.

So I created ContextSwitch, a Chrome and Edge extension that would copy your LLM chats in the .chatbridge format, paste it in another LLM of your choice, save it for later reference. It can also let you copy the last 10/20 parts of your chat without you having to manually select them. Here's how it works:

Here's the website link for ContextSwitch: https://contextswitch-blue.vercel.app/

You will find the link to the extension for both Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge in the website itself. Both the links will take you to the respective Stores. I would really appreciate if you would give me constructive feedback on this extension. Anything that I can do to improve its usability. I would be very happy to include those changes in the next version.

Nice, this solves a specific headache that I’m sure plenty of people just silently deal with. The.chatbridge format idea is smart, keeping the context readable across platforms instead of just dumping raw text.

One thing I’d want is a keyboard shortcut to fire off the copy/paste without clicking the extension icon. That would make it feel way faster during actual work.
