Distillr

Distillr is a Chrome extension that gives you a one-click summary of any article you're reading online. It connects to ChatGPT to analyze the webpage content and pull out the main ideas, presenting them in a clear, concise format. This lets you grasp the essence of a long article without having to read every word, which is perfect for research, news scanning, or just saving time.

The tool works directly in your browser. You install the extension, and when you're on a page with an article, you click the Distillr button. It sends the content to ChatGPT and returns a distilled version to you. A notable feature is its commitment to user privacy; the developers state they have a strict no data collection policy, so your reading habits aren't tracked or stored.

Distillr is most useful for students who need to review many sources, professionals who want to stay informed quickly, and anyone who feels overwhelmed by the amount of text online. Its simple, single-purpose design makes it easy to use, though the free version limits you to a certain number of summaries per day, with a paid 'Pro' tier available for heavier usage.
