Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 8.0 In testing, the performance of the ChatGPT Sidebar was good. You hardly notice any lag, which ensures a smooth and efficient browsing experience. Only the function of loading marked content directly into the sidebar via a pop-up, asking questions, or summarizing the content had a few problems. Sometimes it was not possible to click on the pop-up after highlighting. Winner in this category | 6.0 The extension works when saving and synchronizing content on different devices.

Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 8.3 The ChatGPT Sidebar offers a free version with basic features and a limited number of queries. Winner in this category | 8.0 The free version offers basic functions that should be sufficient for many users.

The tool's transparent data protection guidelines and regular security updates set the extension apart from the competition.
