select-gpt

A chrome extension that lets you select any text and run it through ChatGPT

Usage

• On any webpage, select the text to be run through ChatGPT.
• Click on the extension button in your toolbar and wait for the result to load.

Installation

• Download the zipped source code and unzip it.

  Or download the code using

  git clone https://github.com/mihiraggarwal/select-gpt.git
  

• Go to the extensions page for your browser. For Chrome, go to chrome://extensions/.

• Turn on developer mode by toggling it on the top right.

• Click on Load Unpacked and navigate to the folder downloaded from GitHub.

The extension will now be visible in the extensions panel in the toolbar; it can be pinned and used from there.

After installing the extension, you will need to close and reopen the browser for the very first use.

Troubleshooting

• Using the extension requires having created an account on ChatGPT. Once in a while, the extension will redirect to that page to pass the cloudflare check.

• If you are using brave browser, be sure to uncheck "Prevent sites from fingerprinting me based on my language preferences" in brave://settings/shields

• Since the extension gets the response as a readable stream, it shouldn't take too long to load. If it does so, simply close the popup and run it again.
