Summarize the Internet

Displays a summary of the text or article on the current page.

Summarize the Internet is a Chrome extension designed to instantly condense the content of any web page into a clear, concise summary. By clicking the taskbar button, users receive a popup that trims text by 50-20%, focusing on the writer's crucial points while omitting weak arguments and irrelevant asides. This tool helps users quickly grasp the main ideas without sifting through excessive details. Additionally, it is available for Firefox, making it accessible across popular browsers.

This extension is perfect for anyone looking to save time and improve reading efficiency, whether for research, news, or general browsing. Its intelligent summarization method distinguishes it from typical tools by emphasizing the author's intended core messages.

Great tool, saves my time when reading large texts at work. I wish it had an in-built dark mode as well, since other extensions cannot change its theme.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Summarize the Internet does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
    Risk likelihood
    Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

    Summarize the Internet has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
