That meant copy, switch tab, paste, enter, and repeat for every follow-up.</p> <p>So I built <strong>Panelize</strong>, a free, open-source Chrome/Edge extension that puts your AI chats side by side in one window. You type once, click <strong>Send All</strong>, and every panel gets the prompt.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F4osqg7cea1jhl49jifg3.gif" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F4osqg7cea1jhl49jifg3.gif" alt="Panelize demo" width="600" height="338"></a></p> <h2> What it supports </h2> <p>ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Doubao, Zhipu / Z.ai, Yuanbao and Google AI Mode: 12 providers, in 22 layouts from a 1×2 quick comparison to 12 at once.</p> <h2> How it works without API keys </h2> <p>Each panel is the provider's real web app, loaded in an iframe with your normal logged-in session. Most of these sites refuse to be framed, so the extension uses <code>declarativeNetRequest</code> to drop <code>X-Frame-Options</code> and the CSP <code>frame-ancestors</code> directive, but only for <code>sub_frame</code> requests to a fixed allowlist of provider domains. A small content script per provider fills the composer and clicks send.</p> <p>The upside: your ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro plan just works, and new models show up the day the website ships them.</p> <p>The downside: these sites change their DOM constantly. Panelize has a Playwright e2e suite against local fixtures, plus a "live" suite that runs against the real sites before every release to catch broken selectors.</p> <h2> Other bits </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Prompt library</strong> with variables like <code>{topic}</code> </li> <li> <strong>One-click privacy mode</strong> that switches every supported provider to a temporary chat</li> <li> <strong>No backend, no analytics.</strong> MIT licensed.</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F5o6yz8yl2kcsdomrkspm.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F5o6yz8yl2kcsdomrkspm.png" alt="Main panel" width="800" height="488"></a></p> <h2> Try it </h2> <ul> <li>Chrome Web Store: <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/panelize/iokalaafkmjffolodkkgbbccmofbglii" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/panelize/iokalaafkmjffolodkkgbbccmofbglii</a> </li> <li>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/Manho/Panelize" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Manho/Panelize</a> </li> </ul> <p>I'd love feedback, especially on the security model of stripping frame headers for an allowlist of domains, and on which provider you'd want next.</p> ai chrome opensource productivity
