Blync

Blync – AI-Powered Tabless Browsing Companion is a browser extension that adds AI-assisted capabilities directly into your browsing experience. It provides instant link previews, an AI assistant in popup and sidebar form, and highly customizable behavior to help you search, summarize, or interact with content without leaving your current page. The tool emphasizes privacy, security, and on-device-like behavior since it runs within the browser and is designed to avoid unnecessary tab switching and tab clutter.
