NotebookLM Web Importer

not free there is free alternative, so no reason to pay

Doesn't work with adding files from google drive.

I really wanted to like this extension, but it simply doesn't work as advertised. The main feature—importing articles—is completely broken. For many articles, the extension shows a misleading "Import Successful" message, but when you check, nothing has actually been imported. It gives you a false sense of accomplishment while failing to do its core job.

Does not really work as advertised (at least on Vivaldi), and there are legal concerns regarding consumer and data protection rights. Though I must commend the idea behind the extension, it is far from finished, and there are some safety and legal concerns that I think need to be addressed. The good: - This extension is capable of importing web pages and YouTube videos (most of the time). - It does offer source organization/management features such as bulk deletion in your notebook (something Google should've added from the beginning). - It can bulk import links and web pages through manual entry of the links into its interface I haven't tried importing RSS feeds, as the button is not there for me on its interface, nor do I use any such feeds. The bad: - While the images on the Chrome Web Store show a pop-up window under the extension button, in reality the extension opens a side panel (on Vivaldi) that is much more basic than what the images promise. This leads me to my next point... - Features that it advertises are outright missing. There is no podcast management button. There is no RSS feed button. There is no "Links", "Browser Tabs", "Page Links", "YouTube Playlist", or "RSS Feed" option for putting in a link and parsing it. - There is no notebook management like it advertises in its documentation site, no tagging feature. - The "link selection" feature where you click on links to add them is buggy, and doesn't work outside the most basic of websites (as an example, it works about 75% the time on Wikipedia, from my experience). Legal Concerns: - The developer attempts to deny all mandatory EU consumer rights in their privacy policy and TOS by claiming to be a 'non-trader'. While it's all well and good to post that up on the store, the fact that the policy and TOS are signed '© 2025 Less But Better, LLC' makes me think it is a company attempting to skirt consumer protections. - There is a total lack of transparency with regards to its obligations under the EU's GDPR, most notably not stating the legal basis for data processing and an absence of safeguards on international data transfers. We don't even know where our data is going, or how it is processed. - There is no clear mechanism to exercise your rights as a consumer and as someone whose data is used. There's no designated contact channel, no mechanism for EU users to exercise their right to access, to correct, or to erase the data, not to mention no channel for addressing consumer disputes. This all goes on while the company/developer claims we can exercise our rights within the privacy policy. - The terms of service, from a cursory read, are unenforceable in the EU. They're very slanted in favor of the company, and I don't think they would hold up to scrutiny from any Data Protection Agencies or in EU courts. TL;DR This thing is missing the features it advertises or misrepresents the way they function, and is also legally opaque as to where your data is going and what your rights are. There is no contact info for the developer in order to report bugs, to ask for help, or to exercise your basic consumer and data protection rights. If those issues could be fixed, I think it has the potential to be the best NBLM importing extension out there.

Works good for text webpages or YouTube videos to import. But can not manage descriptions to YouTube videos. Why not to add some selector to able to view a YouTube video page as a webpage, not just as a source of the video transcription. Another problem is the extension can put empty sources to NotebookLM if there is any auth in the webpage.
