According to AlphaMoat, as of 2026-09, the Chrome extension ChatGPT Side Panel has 10 users (-9.1% MoM) — ranked #9,159 of 9,324 AI browser extensions, and #2,383 of 2,418 in General AI.
A side panel for ChatGPT that lets you highlight text, ask follow-up questions, and keep reading without losing your place. ChatGPT Side Panel adds a fixed side panel to ChatGPT so you can ask follow-up questions while staying focused on the part of the conversation you are reading.
Highlight any text in the chat, click Ask, and open a new side-panel thread with the selected text attached as context. Your questions are sent within the same ChatGPT conversation, while replies appear in the side panel, so your main reading position stays unchanged.
