Comment Summarizer Chrome Extension • Last Updated: August 22, 2026
Comment Summarizer is a client-side Chrome Extension that helps users analyze social media comment sections on X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn by generating key consensus themes using AI.
We operate strictly under a Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) model and perform zero server-side tracking, telemetry, or analytics.
Comment Text: When you explicitly click "Summarize Comments" on a supported post page (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn), the extension reads the publicly rendered comment text on that specific web page.
On-Demand Processing: The extension never passively collects, reads, or transmits data in the background. Content extraction only occurs when triggered by your direct user action.
Direct OpenAI API Connection: Extracted comment text is sent directly from your browser to OpenAI's official Chat Completions API (api.openai.com) for summarization.
Your Own API Key (BYOK): Requests are authenticated using your personal OpenAI API key, which you configure in the extension Options page.
Zero Third-Party Developer Servers: No comment text, API key, or user data is ever sent to, processed by, or stored on any server operated by the developers of this extension. There are no backend proxy servers.
All persistent extension data is stored strictly on your local device:
chrome.storage.local: Stores your OpenAI API key, your maximum comment extraction cap setting, and local diagnostic logs.
chrome.storage.session: Temporarily caches generated comment summaries during your active browser session so you do not incur duplicate API costs when switching tabs. This cache is automatically erased when you close your browser.
We do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Sentry, or any third-party tracking services.
We do not collect personal identification information, browsing history, or IP logs.
We do not sell, rent, or trade any user data under any circumstances.
host_permissions (x.com, twitter.com, instagram.com, facebook.com, linkedin.com): Required to execute DOM extraction of publicly visible comment cards when you click "Summarize Comments".
storage: Required to save your OpenAI API key and preference settings locally on your device.
sidePanel: Required to render the summary output interface alongside your active tab.
activeTab & scripting: Required to connect with the current post page on user interaction.
