From the Chrome Web Store

Transform complex text into clear explanations with AI - from beginner to expert level Explain It to Me is a beautiful Chrome extension that transforms dense, jargon-filled web content into clear, digestible explanations—right inside your browser.

Everything you need happens in-page, with a sleek, responsive interface.
