## Description

Turn chaotic browsing into calm context.
Sidekick Social adds one discreet bubble to every site:

AI Flash Summary – Click 💬 to read a 3-sentence recap (plus “Toggle Quiet Mode” to hide feeds & autoplay).

Clean-Link Copier – Right-click any link → Copy clean link — tracking junk stripped automatically.

One-click Page Summary – Right-click the page background to get an instant rundown.

Quiet Mode – Hide feeds, videos, and pop-ups until you’re ready.

100 % Local-First – Your data stays in the browser; cloud summaries are opt-in.

Because every link should be clear, every share should be safe, and every scroll should be under your control.
