Inline Context Lookup with Rabbitholes Chrome Extension

说明与用途

作者开发了一款名为“rabbitholes”的Chrome扩展程序，利用Claude Haiku 4.5为选中的文本提供内联解释。它使用Shadow DOM进行样式隔离，允许在不离开原始页面的情况下递归探索术语。不使用中间服务器。

问题

Reading long-form articles often requires looking up unfamiliar terms, forcing users to either open new tabs (losing context) or skip terms (losing understanding).

结果

A privacy-focused, client-side Chrome extension that provides recursive, inline context for reading without breaking flow or leaking data to intermediary servers.

工作流

• Install the Rabbitholes Chrome extension.
• Configure the extension with a personal Anthropic API key stored in chrome.storage.sync.
• Highlight text in a web article to trigger an inline explanation from Claude Haiku 4.5.
• Click on specific words within the explanation to recursively explore deeper context.
• Use the hop depth counter to monitor how far the exploration has diverged from the original text.
• Optionally use the globe icon to re-answer queries with live Brave Search results for verification.
• Close the tooltip to return exactly to the previous reading position.

证据

So I built rabbitholes — a Chrome extension that renders an explanation next to your cursor when you highlight text, using a shadow DOM tooltip that doesn't touch the host page's layout or styles.

No intermediary server. Requests go directly from your browser to api.anthropic.com. Zero telemetry, Manifest V3, your Anthropic key stored in chrome.storage.sync.
