What’s new in 0.2
In this release, we made significant progress on search bar improvements and data synchronization. The idea is to let you use the extension as seamlessly as possible, without any additional configuration or manual operations. In the coming weeks, we are going to invite alpha testers to test our Chrome extension.
Search Bar Improvements
A new icon 🔍 has been added to the main view of ChatGPT, next to the dropdown list for choosing the ChatGPT models (3.5 / 4 / 4o) so that you can trigger the search bar either by clicking the icon or using the shortcut ctrl / cmd + K.
When navigating to the target conversation, the extension automatically scrolls the view to the target message matching the search query and highlights the matched keywords.
Automatic Data Synchronization
The data synchronization is now triggered automatically when you load the ChatGPT web page in your browser. Previously, you had to click a button to trigger it manually. If you open the extension popup, you can also see the progress of the synchronization in real-time. The synchronization is incremental, which means that if a conversation has been synchronized in the past and is not updated, it won’t be synchronized again.
You can control the data synchronization by using the shortcut cmd + -, to disable or enable the synchronization. You need to inspect it from the console (Press F12 and then visit the tab “Console” in Chrome).
Improvements
Other improvements:
- Show the version, mode, and site for the backend API in the popup, which facilitates troubleshooting when an issue occurs.
- Change the permissions of Chrome extensions to follow the DNS changes of ChatGPT from
https://chat.openai.comtohttps://chatgpt.com. - Improvements in API error handling, such as “504 Gateway Timeout” and “429 Too Many Requests”.
