After trying various sidebar plugins available in the market and finding them unsatisfactory, I decided to write my own. After two months of focused development, it's now relatively stable in terms of functionality. It's available on the Edge Web Store with nearly 300 users.
I developed a Edge browser extension: Cerebr (/ˈsɛrɪbr/). I found HARPA really useful, but it only offers 50 free conversations, even with custom API integration. I also tried Sider, but it had that typical Chinese software feel with excessive ads and flashy interfaces, so I uninstalled it.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a sidebar product in the market that I liked, despite having a real need for asking questions while browsing. Perplexity is good too, but I found myself too lazy to even switch tabs. So I decided to create my own, and thus Cerebr was born.
"Cerebr" is a Latin root related to "brain" or "cerebrum." This root appears in many brain or thinking-related words. I aim to integrate the powerful capabilities of Claude, OpenAI, and other AI services - Cerebr serves as your second brain, providing deep reading and comprehension support.
Key Features:
• Multi-platform implementation with a single codebase. Sidebar: Access in any browser tab through keyboard shortcuts (Default Windows: Alt+Z / Mac: Ctrl+Z).
• Supports web deployment on Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, and Vercel. No installation needed, access your personal chat interface from any browser, anywhere.
• Supports Mac desktop application and PWA installation.
• Configuration sync: Cross-browser API configuration synchronization for easy settings sharing across devices.
• Multiple API support: Configure multiple APIs to generate different AI assistants.
• Webpage and PDF Q&A support: Enable Q&A for webpage content, automatic PDF detection and parsing, and local PDF file Q&A. The PDF feature is particularly useful - I use Cerebr daily while browsing Arxiv, making it my paper reading companion.
• Image Q&A support: Paste images directly into the input box, drag webpage images or desktop images to Cerebr.
• Markdown rendering support with LaTeX formula display. Extensively optimized for mathematical formula and chemical equation rendering, as I frequently need to understand various mathematical principles while reading papers.
• Quick operations: Keyboard shortcuts to clear chat (Windows: Alt+X / Mac: Ctrl+X), up arrow key in input box to quickly complete with the latest question.
• Supports streaming output.
• Supports light and dark mode theme switching.

- (2025-04-05) vishun: 极简,支持思考展示,好评。 建议: 1、插件图片大点比较协调(脑子扩展到整个背景那么大)。 2、要是能方便的切换不同模型就好了,现在是每次都要去api设置中切换。 3、新增api设置时,经常没有自动保存,再次打开又展示默认的了,最好加个保存按钮。
