Update: fixed usage of innerHTML, full CSP Compatibility

Single Purpose
This extension enhances the ChatGPT interface by allowing users to collapse messages, label them with custom notes, and organize them using a visual index. All data is stored locally in the browser and never leaves the user's device.

storage justification
The extension uses storage to save message labels, folder organization, and user preferences per thread. All data is stored locally in the browser and is never sent to any external server.

activetab justification
Opens a list with markers you set. This extension uses the activeTab permission to inject message-collapsing and labeling functionality only on the currently active ChatGPT page when the user interacts with the page. No other tabs or background access is used.

scripting justification
This extension injects a content script (content.js) to enable users to label, collapse, and index messages within the ChatGPT interface. The script does not collect or transmit personal data and operates entirely client-side to enhance the user interface. It does not access or modify data outside the current tab.

Host permission justification
The extension runs exclusively on chat.openai.com and chatgpt.com to enhance the ChatGPT interface with local tools for message collapsing, labeling, and thread organization. It does not access or modify content on any other website.

I do not sell or transfer user data to third parties, apart from the approved use cases
I do not use or transfer user data for purposes that are unrelated to my item's single purpose
I do not use or transfer user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes
