Bring your own key is the absolute best way to do this.
Clean code, audited it on github myself.
Zero subscription traps, just pure utility.
UI feels a bit barebones but gets the job done.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Handle a complete web page, just the passage you highlighted, or an attached PDF, all from the same toolbar workflow.
Connect your own OpenAI API key to choose which models you use and pay OpenAI directly for usage, with no middleman markup.
Save different instruction sets — for example a news preset versus a social preset — and reorder them by drag and drop to match your habits.
Use your own prompt to generate and fill out text fields, useful for drafting email replies or form content in place.
The full source is published on GitHub, so the behaviour can be inspected, forked or contributed to by anyone.
Unlike extension-based summarizers that bundle their own paid credits, Page Summarizer is deliberately bring-your-own-key: you supply an OpenAI API key and the extension sends requests on your behalf. That keeps the tool free to install, puts you in control of model choice and spending, and means the code behind it can be audited — it is published under the MIT licence on GitHub.
Its feature set is built around flexibility rather than a single one-click button. You summarise whole pages, selected passages, or PDFs, and you can also use a custom prompt to fill out text fields such as an email or a form response. Profiles let you save different instruction sets — for instance, a "news" profile versus a "social" profile — so the same page can be summarised in the style each context needs, and you can drag and drop to reorder the ones you use most.
Model support is deliberately broad: you can pick from the OpenAI models available to your account, including reasoning models, so the extension keeps working as new generations are released. A dark mode follows your operating system theme. The developer states that the extension does not collect or use your data, which is consistent with the bring-your-own-key design — your API credentials stay in your browser.
Summarise a full PDF or article and use a tailored profile to surface the methodology and findings you care about.
Set a news-oriented profile and summarise articles quickly to get the substance without wading through background context.
Supply your own API key so credentials stay in your browser and you decide which model handles your content.
Read the MIT-licensed source on GitHub, fork it, or adjust prompts and profiles to fit a specific workflow.
