Measured, not marketed

Less page to paint.
Nothing deleted.

The included offline fixture has 141 turns. With default settings, GPT Delagger hides 111 older turns plus tool UI, so 693 of 835 thread elements leave layout and paint while staying in the DOM.

This is a controlled rendering-work measurement, not an FPS, latency, memory, or performance guarantee. React still owns and reconciles every node.

TRIM / 01

Old turns wait behind “show more.”

Choose how many recent turns stay visible, then reveal older batches or the entire thread at any time.

BLOCK / 02

Heavy tool UI stays out of paint.

Hide known MCP apps, connector cards, run-status UI, failure fallbacks, and image-generation loading frames.

ZAP / 03

Target the UI the detector misses.

Point at a stubborn element, widen or narrow the selection, and save a conservative custom hide rule.

LIGHT / 04

Skip off-screen rendering work.

Use content visibility, remove transitions, and optionally disable backdrop blur on weaker GPUs.

Privacy boundary

Your conversation stays in your browser.

The extension inspects ChatGPT’s page structure locally to decide which interface elements to hide. It does not record, retain, transmit, sell, or share conversation content.

Used only to sync toggles, the trim count, and user-authored custom hide selectors through Chrome.

"matches": ["chatgpt.com/*"]

The content script runs on ChatGPT only. The legacy chat.openai.com hostname is retained for compatibility.
