ChatGPT Popup Notifier
Overview
I made ChatGPT Popup Notifier since I always ask ChatGPT something that takes a while to process, switch to another tab, and sometimes forget about ChatGPT for hours. This extension notifies you when ChatGPT finishes generating your response, so you can get back to it immediately, including immediately notifying you if ChatGPT returned an error (which happens often!). For those of us using DALL-E, which takes ages to complete generating a picture, this also works.
The extension simulates the clicks you would make to do these tasks, and does them for you. It’s saved me a lot of time, and I hope it can save you time too.
It’s free and available for Chrome.
Interesting things
- The extension includes
hacktimer.js, which is a library that allows you to speed up ChatGPT responses even if you navigate away from the ChatGPT tab – this slowdown happens because browsers “throttle” background tabs. While I haven’t tested it comprehensively, it seemed faster withhacktimer.jsthan without it.
