  • New solution speeds up ChatGPT on Google Chrome during long conversations
  • The Extension preserves session context and operates locally without affecting privacy

Many ChatGPT users on Google Chrome have been experiencing noticeable slowdowns during extended conversations, especially with intensive AI tool usage, which impacts interaction speed and work efficiency.

A free extension called ChatGPT LightSession has emerged to address this issue by optimizing the interface performance without affecting the conversation’s context.

The slowdown is usually caused by the browser itself, not ChatGPT, as long conversations are fully loaded on the page, putting pressure on the browser’s memory and slowing its responsiveness.

Some users are forced to constantly start new sessions, which results in losing the context of previous conversations.

The extension displays only a limited number of recent messages while hiding older messages internally.

This process does not affect chat history, as any previous message can be retrieved when needed.

According to the developer’s official notes, all processing is done locally in the browser, without sending any data to external servers, ensuring privacy and preventing tracking or analytics.

This extension is particularly useful for users relying on ChatGPT for long research or coding sessions, where hundreds of messages can accumulate, helping maintain fast browser response and a smooth user experience.
