I’ve tried several ChatGPT extensions, but Sidely is by far the cleanest and most reliable. No extra logins, no weird permissions — it simply connects to my existing ChatGPT session and works. The sidebar loads instantly and doesn’t slow down my browser like other tools did. Great for coding help, writing emails, or even quick research while browsing. A must-have productivity upgrade.

Most AI extensions feel bloated or try to force you into making a new account, but Sidely is refreshingly different. It’s fast, secure, and doesn’t collect anything.

As a developer, I use ChatGpt all - time for code explanations and debugging ideas, Sidely makes that much easier,. I can keep my code editor on one side of the screen and Chatgpt in the sidebar without any extra clutter, it's incredibly convenient that it connects directly to my open ai account , with no sketchy login requirements or data sharing
