Release Notes: April 8, 2026 - Browser extension side panel and listen mode available in extension

We’ve just released an update to the browser extension.

The extension now opens in the browsers side panel, which means it will no longer cover part of your search. The extension also remains open as you search, so feel free to switch between tabs and pages as you’re doing your deep dives. Plus, we’ve integrated Listen Mode into the extension. So now, you can listen to your content in that familiar voice you’ve grown accustomed to over the past week!

What’s included

  • Browser extension side panel:

    The extension now opens in the browser's side panel instead of a popup overlay. It stays open as you navigate between pages and no longer covers page content. Supported on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.

  • Listen Mode in the extension:

    Listen back to your content from the browser extension, including speed control, playback position saving when closing the panel, and proper timing synchronization.

  • Reader content extraction:

    Significantly improved the quality and accuracy of content extracted from web pages, with better handling of images, tables, code blocks, and links

  • UX improvements:

    Fixed numbered lists being cut off in chat, made chat fully responsive on small screens, added descriptions to connection preview cards, and fixed image loading for connections and wiki pages

Bug fixes

  • Improved reliability when saving TikTok videos

  • Items created from PDFs now display the extracted title instead of the filename

  • Shift+Enter now correctly adds a new line in chats

What’s next

We’ve got some really exciting updates on the horizon! We can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on with you.

Can the side panel be customized, or is it fixed for now? @sankari_nair

@sankari_nair  @anthony_wright2 Hey, this is a thougtful update 😄
I often switch between tabs while researching, so having the extension stay open will make things much smoother.

Sankari Nair

Awesome, that is great to hear.

@shawn_idrees Happy you liked the update! 😄 I totally agree having the extension stay open while switching tabs is a (game-changer) when researching. Makes everything so much more efficient!

@anthony_wright2 Hello! You can adjust it and just adjust the width which I really enjoy.

@sankari_nair I like that we can adjust the width of the side panel. It definitely makes navigating between tabs and tasks a lot smoother.

does the side panel stay pinned across browser sessions or do you need to reopen it everytime?
