Comment on Show HN: Pinbot – An extension to privately search one's browser history with AI

Comments

This seems cool but to aid trust in these sorts of things, perhaps a UserScripts version rather than a packaged Chrome extension with easy to read code would be an easier ask? Tampermonkey and Greasemonkey etc still work.

I often prototype in Greasemonkey myself, so I understand and agree with your point. However, there are many requirements (the AI model weighs 90Mb; I run it in a sandboxed iframe because it uses `eval` and I want to guarantee it would not do something bad; but initialising the iframe and loading the model on every page would be quite cumbersome; etc.) that made more sense in an extension.
