the new update sucks

Aditya, 2025-04-08

Many useful function and AI models to select. Need improve the UI/UX to smother and make the current function like searching and project to be excellent. The browser extension needs to be care now, a lot of bugs, lagging. And nothing else to be complain.

The context menu in Chrome is quite limited; it needs quick actions like summarizing, rewriting, translating, asking questions based on selected text, explaining.
