But I couldn't find a single one that worked well. Even the fancy new browsers (Arc) don't have this feature. I was a little surprised ... and decided to build one for myself.

I started using it all the time (biased, I'm sure...) and figured I'd package it up for others to use/try/give me feedback.

Enter TLDR. It's really fast (proud parent syndrome). It's a sidebar for Chrome. It works for articles, YouTube videos and PDFs. And it handles 40 languages :)

ps. For now, it does not work in other Chromium-based browsers (like Arc) because the sidebar API tends to be flakier in those.
