If you use ChatGPT for work you probably noticed that after a while the chat gets slower and slower. Scrolling becomes laggy, typing feels delayed and sometimes the tab just crashes completely.
This is not your computer and it is not your internet. It is how ChatGPT works. It loads every single message into your browser at once. The longer the chat gets the worse it becomes. Claude and Gemini don't have this problem because they only load what is visible on screen.
I figured out a fix and built it into a Chrome extension. It intercepts the data before the browser loads it and trims it to only recent messages. Your full history stays safe and you can load older messages back any time.
If you have this problem comment below and I will share the link.
