✨ Features

• ⚡ Instant Snippet Analysis: Highlight any text on a webpage, and it automatically "jumps" into the AI input box with a smooth visual bounce.
• 📖 Full-Page Summarization: One click extracts the entire visible content of a tab and sends it to the AI for a comprehensive, long-form breakdown.
• 🧠 Local LLM Power: Powered by google/flan-t5-base (or small), providing "Gemini-style" detailed responses without sending data to the cloud.
• 🎨 Aesthetic Dark UI: A premium "Midnight Obsidian" interface with neon purple accents, frosted glass effects, and scrollable response cards.
• 🔒 Privacy-Centric: Your data stays on your machine. The extension communicates only with your local Python backend.
