I had similar ideas on the back burner for per site scripts. MV3 sure makes things annoying at times! I want to build something that's kind of a mix between what you're doing here and what I've been experimenting with. Did you experiment with the sidePanel api yet? You can open it, but the <input> will not get focus like with the popups. You'd think at least with the commands keybindings, or reacting to the browser action icon click this should be possible?! I asked Lumos some questions and it's hitting the embeddings endpoint many times, and then when I asked a follow up question, it hit the same endpoints again, each taking a few hundred ms. It's not caching them? TBD? p.s. iirc There's some way to set the key in the manifest such that you'll get a static id, useful for OLLAMA_ORIGINS where you don't need * in the examples. p.p.s starli

ng-lm is really great for a default local model for these types of things edit: https://github.com/andrewnguonly/Lumos/pull/38

For installation, there's nothing else you need to do. It's ready to go. If you want to configure a custom content parser for a specific website (i.e. websites you visit frequently), you'll need to modify `contentConfig.ts` according to the instructions here: https://github.com/andrewnguonly/Lumos?tab=readme-ov-file#cu... Sorry, I realize these instructions are probably unclear. My approach for parsing content is a bit hacky. I need to create a video tutorial/documentation to show how to inspect the webpage and pick out content to parse. Created this issue to track: https://github.com/andrewnguonly/Lumos/issues/37
