It works! but the problem is: It doesn't stop working! It keeps reiterating the output endlessly. Please fix this. And also, in some pages, it doesn't appear on top of some elements of the page, and looks weird. This was my prompt: The following text is the content of a web page. categorize it; Describe the context shortly in one line; Sumarize the conclusion of the idea presented, presenting some historical context to the subject, giving a general common sense opinion on the idea; After, talk briefly about the most impacting fact presented. Template: #### Category #### Description #### Conclusion

ChatGPT is doing all the work. It would be better if this extension allowed some customization such as changing the number of bullet-points and changing the output language. Also, the prompt used doesn't seem to be particularly good thus resulting in poor summaries (see example below). Is it true that the developer has access to all the sites visited? "- A migrant boat sank in the English Channel, resulting in one death and five people in serious condition. - British and French coastguards carried out a joint rescue operation, saving 50 people. - Six individuals were airlifted to a Calais hospital, one of whom later died; survivors mentioned using shoes to bail water out of the sinking boat. - A volunteer reported rescuing 54 people, including one woman, and stated the boat was overcrowded. - Home Secretary Suella Braverman is expected to lead a meeting about the incident; over 15,800 people have crossed the Channel by boat this year. Here are the key points from the provided text: 1. Volcano eruption in Tianjin disrupts traffic in Chinese capital. 2. Protests led by women in Ghana captured in an image. 3. Cultural icons Ja Rule, DJ Kool Herc, and Grandmaster Flash featured in a picture. 4. Various other news and images highlighted on BBC's platform, including topics like the job market, cultural heritage, and fashion choices."

I have tried many ChatGPT/AI summarization extensions and have found this one works the best in terms of the length and comprehensiveness of the summation. My favourite one I have found.
