Chit Jr! A Firefox addon that uses Ollama to run inferences against selected text on webpages.

Chit Jr.!

Yes, it's the all-new pocket-sized version of Chit -- the privacy-obsessed LLM chat interface, that now lives inside your browser!

• Run one of several system prompts over the selected text on a webpage.

  • Summarize

  • ELI5 (Explain Like I'm 5)

  • Translate to English

  • Analysis

  • ...and more... or use your own prompt!

• Ask follow-up questions.

• Copy results to the clipboard

• Uses the Ollama LLM server running on your local machine.

IMPORTANT

• This is a work in progress.

• If you are having trouble connecting, check if Ollama can be accessed from localhost. Set OLLAMA_ORIGINS appropriately. Setting it to * is not recommended for security reasons, but is fine for testing to make sure things work. This is probably because I'm calling localhost:11434 instead of 127.0.0.1:11434 by default. I should probably change that. Why am I write this instead of doing it? Because I'm trying to stay on track with other stuff I need to do, and this is how I get distracted.

• If you're seeing a "blocked loading mixed active content" error, it means non-HTTPS content is mixing with HTTPS content somewhere. This may happen if the Ollama endpoint is being served via HTTPS.

Notes

• Currently built for Firefox, but other browsers are probable once things get stable.
