ChatGPT doesn't work at all anymore in that extension. Always showing "waiting for ChatGPT"
by Eric Ketzer, 2024-12-17

Can't pick any star because it's not working (1 just to make this Post). Keeps asking to log in and refresh. Guys, if you don't know how to fix this, ask ChatGPT, of Copilot, or Gemini,....just fix this already.

Great extension, but currently broken. It does not obtain session data from chatgpt anymore, asking for login/refresh indefinitely
