功能很实用，网页看到问题再也不用来回切着问AI了。一个使用的小问题，侧边栏能自动往下滚动吗，问的多了，老得自己往下滚动

Awesome extension! Feature request: Please add Vietnamese into language (or allow user to add more language support)

相当不错了，问题有三：1. 开源版本久未更新，是放弃了吗？2. AI搜索部分最好能关闭部分引擎，perplexity整天就在那验证是不是人类，验证半天还不给过，每次切metaso麻烦死了。3. 说的翻译什么时候上线？如果不是monica默认对话引擎只能用他自己那个，AI搜索限次数，他的全文翻译还是更好用的。
