Our verdict

OpenGPTs bundles a sidebar chat, instant screenshot analysis, one-click text summarization, and simultaneous conversations with multiple GPTs into one open-source Chrome extension. Internet-enhanced answers reduce reliance on the model's own memory, and a web-automation feature is still listed as coming soon rather than shipped. Being open-source, its code is inspectable on GitHub, though as with any extension that requests webpage access, you're trusting its stated policy against collecting browsing history.
