Description

A lightweight extension that speeds up long ChatGPT chats by hiding older messages. Shows only the last 50 by default, with a "Show more" button to reveal history in chunks. ChatGPT conversations with hundreds of messages can become painfully slow, especially during response generation. ChatGPT Lag Fixer fixes this by keeping the page light and responsive.

Doesn't work. 5 or 50. Clean Edge, only proxy installed. Powerful PC. I don't think anything changes with this extension at all, performance wise. Alas.

Barely has any impact at all, ChatGPT still freezes and lags a ton. Use the extension 'ChatGPT LightSession' as that ACTUALLY fixes these issues.

I like it, however due to chatGPT checking APIs and memory it slows

Really helpful extension. It makes long ChatGPT chats much more responsive. But on my older Chromebook, even the number of messages shown on the initial load, whatever that number is, feels slightly heavy, as do the 50-message chunks when clicking "Show more." It would be great to have an option to reduce both. Thanks for the great work!
