Blync

Preview Links & Use AI. All Without Leaving the Page

Free

Description

Blync is a browser extension designed to streamline the web browsing experience by reducing tab clutter and integrating AI assistance. It allows users to preview the content of links directly on the current page without needing to open a new tab. This preview function can be triggered through customizable actions like hovering, dragging, or clicking a link, offering a glimpse into the destination page with full browsing capabilities within the popup.

Beyond link previews, Blync incorporates an AI assistant feature that integrates with popular AI services like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Users can select text on any webpage or use a keyboard shortcut to activate a popup, enabling them to query the AI about the selection or perform searches seamlessly. The extension automates the process of interacting with the user's own AI account, displaying results directly within the browser. Blync emphasizes user privacy with a serverless architecture, running entirely locally without tracking or storing user data, and offers extensive customization options for both its link preview and AI functionalities.
