does what i need it to do

There's another extension that lets you save reusable prompts for ChatGPT. It's limited to only 2 at a time unless you pay, and only lets you insert it at the beginning of a message. It also is probably heavily data collected/monitored. This is superior for that same purpose in every way imaginable.
