Web Distiller AI - Chrome Extension

Chrome Extension Web Store

This Chrome extension provides a summary of web page contents using the built-in Gemini Nano model. It is implemented with React and offers secure in-browser summarization without sending content to external networks.

Uses Gemini Nano for summarization.
Summarization options include translation into English or Japanese.
Provides a popup menu to execute summarization.
Extracts the main content of the web page using Readability.
Converts extracted content to markdown format using Turndown.
Calls Gemini Nano via window.ai for summarization.
Translates the summary into the selected language if the translate option is set to a language other than English.
Outputs the summary in a text area within the popup menu, including a markdown-formatted link with the title and URL, and a button to copy the summary to the clipboard.

Limitations

Summarization extracts content from the beginning of the page to avoid exceeding the context length limitation of Gemini Nano. Full-text summarization is not currently supported.
Future improvements will include chunking the full page content for multiple summarization passes and combining the results.
