How does Link Report work?⌄
Right click any link, or the page you're reading, in Chrome and choose Link Report. It turns the page into a brief report of its text. It does not try to replace the entire article, but it gives you a report to help you decide if you want to click through to read the full thing.
What kind of content can be previewed?⌄
Link Report works with single web pages that contain articles like news or blogs focused on text content. It also works with YouTube links.
What does it cost?⌄
The Chrome extension is free to use. If you find it useful, donations through
Buy Me a Coffee help keep it that way.
Can't I get this through Google, Bing, or ChatGPT?⌄
Other services that process content for "free" will continue to collect data about you so they can target you with more and more advertisements. Link Report will not.
What data is stored?⌄
We do not associate any content requests with you and we do not collect any identifiable data. We do record your IP address so we can offer you location appropriate terms, but we do not collect detailed location information.
Wasn't there an Android app?⌄
There was. Link Report started life as an Android app, but it has been discontinued and is no longer available on Google Play. All development is now focused on the Chrome extension.
Who made this?⌄
Mike Halleen is a developer and product manager with a long career in digital media. This project came out of experiments run between gigs when ChatGPT first exploded into the world.
Why doesn't it always work?⌄
The product is still in development. Your feedback helps me make it better.
