Like many of you I use ChatGPT heavily for work. Long coding sessions, research threads, ongoing projects. After a few hundred messages the whole tab starts dying. Typing lags, scrolling stutters, sometimes Chrome throws the Page Unresponsive dialog and just gives up. Why it happens ChatGPT loads every single message into your browser at once. A 500 message chat means your browser is juggling thousands of live elements simultaneously. It has nothing to do with your internet speed or OpenAI’s servers. It is entirely a browser rendering problem. What I built A Chrome extension that intercepts the conversation data before it renders and trims it to only the messages you need. Tested on a 1865 message chat and got 932x faster, rendering 2 messages instead of 1865. Your full history stays intact, just click Load older messages to browse back anytime. What it includes Live speed multiplier so you can see exactly how much faster it is running. Four speed modes depending on how aggressive you want the trimming to be. Everything runs 100% locally, no data ever leaves your browser, no tracking, no uploads. Free to try, no credit card needed. Would love to hear if it fixes it for you. submitted by /u/Distinct-Resident759
