Updates
New Update – Custom Summary Length & Quick Preview
We’re excited to announce a small but handy improvement that should make your summarizing experience a bit smoother.
Custom Summary Length – In the settings panel, you can now choose how many sentences or words you’d like the extension to output. This gives you more control over the depth of the summary without having to tweak the entire article manually.
Quick Preview – A tiny “Preview” button appears next to the generated summary. It shows the summarized text inline, so you can see it right away without leaving your page.
These tweaks are meant to help you get exactly the information you need, faster. As always, feel free to drop any feedback or suggestions in the help forum. Happy reading!
🎉 New Update: Auto‑Detect & Focus Mode 🚀
We’ve added a couple of small but handy improvements to the Article Summarizer Extension:
Auto‑detect article type – The extension now looks at the page’s metadata (OpenGraph, schema.org, etc.) and automatically selects the best summarization algorithm for news, blog posts, research papers, etc.
Focus Mode – A toggle that hides the sidebar and highlights the summary text, making it easier to read on long pages or in a distraction‑free environment.
Tip: After you open an article, give Focus Mode a quick try – it usually reduces visual noise and keeps the summary front‑and‑center.
Happy summarizing!
📦 Article Summarizer Extension – Version 2.1
Release date: 2026-10-02
What’s new?
PDF support – Drag‑and‑drop any PDF into the extension, and it will auto‑extract the text and generate a concise summary.
Keyboard shortcut – Press `Ctrl+Shift+S` (Windows/Linux) or `⌘+Shift+S` (macOS) to trigger a summary of the currently selected text or the active tab.
Cleaner UI – The summary panel now auto‑closes after 30 seconds of inactivity, keeping the browser workspace tidy.
Quick tip
If you’re reading a long article, try selecting a paragraph and hitting the shortcut. The extension will highlight the selected block in the summary, making it easy to jump back to the source.
Known issue
The PDF extractor occasionally mis‑reads tables. We’re working on a fix; meanwhile, use the “Plain Text” mode in the settings to force the extension to ignore tables.
Enjoy the streamlined summarization experience!
🎉 New Feature: Custom Summary Length
We’ve added a Custom Length option to the Article Summarizer Extension.
When you click *Summarise*, a small slider lets you pick how many sentences you want in the output. This gives you tighter control over how detailed you’d like the summary to be.
> Tip: For quick skimming, set it to 3–4 sentences. For a deeper dive, choose 6–8.
Give it a try and let us know what you think!
