For Google Chrome Built-in AI Challenge (https://developer.chrome.com/blog/ai-challenge), I tried to create a simple hacker news post summarizer. It essentially sends the bulk of a top comment and its child comments to the local summarizer to get a summary.

The idea was to see how local models work and the kind of latency they offer. The extension in it's current form is fairly rudimentary and works only for hacker news. Plus the latency to fetch the summary is noticeable.

I understand, a general-purpose summarizer would kill the need for such a thing, but I built it for getting familiarized with chrome extensions as well as Gemini Nano APIs.

I’m curious to know if there is any value in such an extension and of course any other thoughts / comments / feedback.
