A browser extension for Chat GPT formatting problems
Originally posted on LinkedIn, May 23, 2025.
I built a browser extension to fix the most annoying formatting problems in Chat GPT. The immediate trigger was the unwanted em dash, which Omer Mayost wrote about here, but I had run into the same problem myself.
I like fixing problems in existing products with browser extensions, as I did with the Jira extension I built. After using this one for a short time, I no longer understand how I managed without it.
The extension also fixes text direction by aligning RTL text to the right, especially when English and Hebrew are mixed in the same message. I added a feature for drawing directly on images, which makes it easier to show Chat GPT exactly what I mean.
It is free and runs locally in the browser on your computer, without making a single call to any server.
A survey Adir Duchan ran about AI tool usage showed that many people still have not switched to Cursor. I built this extension in a few hours over one weekend using several AI tools, from the first lines of code through publication in the extension store. I plan to publish a video series showing the full process.
The extension is available in Google’s Chrome Extensions store.
