Chippy – AI ChatGPT Chrome extension for online browsing is a browser extension that brings ChatGPT to your web experience, enabling AI-powered summaries, research, translations, and answers without tab-switching. It focuses on quick input, in-page text analysis, and guided prompts, with optional GPT-4 access via your OpenAI API key. The extension runs locally in your browser for conversations and API keys, and does not require an account to get started. It supports Windows 98-themed dark/light glossy UI themes and is available for Chrome/Chromium-based browsers.
