Copilot Sidebar

A Chrome side panel extension that extracts the main content of webpages into clean, AI‑ready Markdown, optionally prepends your saved prompt, and copies the result to the clipboard. Includes a one‑key extract‑and‑copy command and an optional paragraph snipping helper.

Features

• Clean Markdown extraction
  • Headings, paragraphs, lists, blockquotes, tables, and code blocks (with language fences when detectable).
  • Adds a simple context header (url, title, timestamp, breadcrumbs).
• Prompt composition
  • Save a custom prompt in the side panel; it’s prepended before the extracted content when copying.
• One‑key command
  • Press Alt+E to extract the current page and copy the saved prompt + content without opening the panel.
• Paragraph snipping (optional)
  • Injects subtle floating icons near long paragraphs; click to copy just that paragraph.
• Configurable content filtering
  • Remove boilerplate sections (e.g., “Read More”, comments, newsletter CTAs) via customizable keyword patterns.
