Show HN: Meta's Segment Anything Model in a Chrome Extension

Hi HN, I managed to get Meta's Segment Anything Model working in a Chrome extension with a little bit of digging and a lot of reverse engineering. Admittedly, that itself is not particularly revolutionary but I've found the Chrome extension packaging to be a little more ergonomic than going to the demo site. If you are interested in how the ONNX portion of the model works, perhaps the source code will also be interesting to you. :)
