Long conversations slow down the browser, I made an extension to fix it

Introducing a Solution for ChatGPT Conversation Management: A Browser Extension to Improve Performance

As users increasingly rely on ChatGPT for diverse tasks, long conversations can sometimes lead to performance issues. Extensive chat histories may cause browsers to slow down or consume excessive resources, affecting the overall user experience. Recognizing this challenge, I developed a simple yet effective Chrome extension designed to streamline ChatGPT conversations and maintain optimal browser performance.

When your discussions grow extensive, the extension preserves only the most recent messages—allowing you to continue conversations seamlessly without overloading your browser or the ChatGPT interface.

How does it work?
