User reviews

I use this extension a lot, but there is equally a lot of room for improvement. My first one would be allowing the user to set the default summarize prompt as an option. For instance; Instead of simply "summarize", you could instead set it as "summarize in two sentences" or "summarize in the style of Beavis and Butthead". It would be a great addition!

I promote Perplexity as an amazing tools anytime I have an opportunity. This browser extension is a disappointment though. Too simplistic, without option to select models, and no dark mode? On dark pages the extension's UI is an eye sore. Promptly uninstalled, I'm good with using the tool via its website.

OK overall, but a low-hanging impact improvement is to allow pro users to use more advanced models such as `claude 3.5` or `o1` rather than the `claude 2`
