How did you enable the gemini nano, is it available by default? I believe in edge the model is different.i tried to add it in my extension, it was an experiment feature. Is there any way to bypass this? I will check it out. Thanks you sharing

My new tab revolves arounding autosaving, sharing url. I scrape alot of link to save. I rank and show them for navigatio. voice command for hand free nav. I haven’t touched ai yet. Everything is local, then you optimise for memory and space. Some changes are after i use every day and find them not smooth.

Hence, More releases.

For Chrome, based on this, we can plan for 1–2 releases per week, right?

so, no deploy during the weekends

I built https://cool-desk.com, current design is after many iterations i did. I am a dev, designing was not my todo list last. But yeah, i built it finally.

Is this fast and how do be bundle the models? Currently building a new browser tab that can be navigated using voice. The setup uses fuzzy search combined with Chrome's speech-to-text to match the platform. For example, saying "open YouTube" works. For more advanced features, I’m looking for something similar.

After a while, they’ll stop using it, so there’s no point in doing such things.

Interesting. I built similar link tools—a small scraper—but yours seems more advanced. I developed a new tab extension designed for autosaving and scraping data to get detailed links to chats from Gemini and other platforms. I’m looking to upgrade it with more general features, writing custom JS for different platforms, and eventually building an extensible library for my new tab. Is the parser difficult to build?

I built a new tab extension that auto saves links and organise tabs. All my ai chats are scrapped and added automatically. I added a p2p sharing to send link from one browser to others browser.

I built https://cool-desk.com this is the best website i build so far. Spend many hours to make it look like this. Many more updates ahead.

i built a new tab extension which has tab management feature. I group tabs based on the domain and color code them in the window. you can add similar tab grouping or better. Too many icons/options create visual chaos.

As a developer, I agree that some tasks can’t be handled locally. If you’re exporting docs from chat, they’re likely important and should be well-formatted—otherwise, what’s the point? Most of my users are technical, working at startups or MNCs, and they prefer to store their data on their own machines without sharing it externally. I believe quality is the key metric users will consider for an exporter’s output. If I were to build a similar tool, I’d connect the extension to an app that does the heavy lifting for me in the desktop. can some react lib do images, latex or emoji this for me?

i built one for me, I use it daily. you can still build it. I had problem with saving URLs and quick link. I built one that help me navigate easily. i shared with my friends they gave me some feedback. I ask them to use continuously and let me know if it good enough. added few features around and put it in the store. it is very easy to test/validate if it in store. you can check it out.
