The details.
Is it free?
Yes. There's no account to make and nothing to pay for.
Is there a keyboard shortcut?
Ctrl+Shift+S opens it. On a Mac it's Cmd+Shift+S.
Does it read the whole page?
It reads the beginning, middle and end of long pages, so a slow opening doesn't skew the summary.
What if a source isn't on the page?
The panel tells you it couldn't find the quote instead of jumping somewhere wrong.
What if the page doesn't answer my question?
It answers from general knowledge, says so, and shows no sources for that answer.
Can I change how it looks?
The panel goes on either side at three widths, and the selection card opens at three sizes. You can turn off the floating button, the passage highlight, the text animation and saved summaries. It's all behind the gear in the panel.
Can a website mess with the panel?
The panel sits in a shadow root, so a site's styles can't restyle it. Keys you type into it don't trigger the site's shortcuts.
What gets sent, and where?
Nothing until you ask. Then the page text, your highlight or your question goes to a small server that passes it to Google's Gemini and keeps none of it. Summaries are saved in your browser and reused for 30 minutes. Clear them from the gear in the panel. Read the privacy policy.
Made by a small studio.
Sideband Studio makes Eternal Summary. We built it because deciding whether a long article was worth reading meant reading it first.
