       | Most useful would be to browse Discord in the web view and
       | summarize all the noisy chats
       | 
       | Would also be cool to have the extension click into every link of
       | search results and spit out an aggregate of the results

         | I'll look into figuring out how to parse the chats.

       | I have been looking for something like this! I noticed you
       | suggest setting the ollama host as a variable (I personally run
       | ollama on a beefier desktop and query remotely), hopefully that
       | will translate over to the options page as well (I noticed the
       | options page seems to have the ollama host hardcoded, though
       | https://github.com/andrewnguonly/Lumos/pull/34/files#diff-83...)

         | Yes! I'm planning to migrate the Ollama hostname configuration
         | to the Options page as well.

       | results, ads, and call-to-action popups.

       | This is sick! We've built a similar product for LLM-powered
       | browsing at https://zenfetch.com
       | 
       | Admittedly, we use cloud hosted providers since we found the
       | quality to be much higher, though awesome to see local versions
       | as well.
