Parsd Web Content Uploader

About

Parsd Web Content Uploader saves the page you're looking at — or the PDF or audio file you have open — straight into your Parsd library, without any copy-paste.

The extension lives in Chrome's side panel, so it stays open beside your tabs while you research. Click the Parsd icon to open the panel; click it again on a different tab to capture that page. No popups that disappear on every click.

It's the same upload pipeline as the Parsd web app, with three extras built specifically for the browser: it auto-detects every PDF and audio file linked from the current page so you can capture them all in one click; it checks each file against your existing library before upload so you don't end up with duplicates; and it lets you attach a short note — a "TIB" (This is Interesting Because…) — capturing why the page mattered to your work in the moment you saved it.

What you can capture
- Full HTML of the page you're on (rendered DOM, not just the static source)
- Any PDF you've opened in the browser
- MP3 and M4A audio files
- PDFs and audio that are *linked from* the current page — surfaced as a checklist with one-click select-all / deselect-all
- A TIB — a short note on why this page is interesting, saved alongside the file so it's there when you or your teammates come back to it later

What it tells you before you upload
- A duplicate-detection check against your existing Parsd library, with a clear ⚠️ marker on files you've already saved
- Source enrichment for known publishers — name, country, reliability rating, social-media handles, and similar sources you've previously catalogued in Parsd
- File-by-file upload status, so you know exactly which captures succeeded

Where uploads go
- Your personal Parsd Knowledge Base by default
- Or any Parsd project you own — including projects shared with teammates, with the same sharing semantics as the main Parsd app

Helping us improve
After each scan, the panel shows a small "Did we find everything on this page?" prompt with a thumbs-up / thumbs-down. Answering thumbs-down opens a short comment box so you can tell us what was missed. Reports go straight to Parsd's admin queue and drive real improvements to the scanning logic. Answering is entirely optional.

Sign-in
Click Login to Parsd in the side panel. The Parsd web app opens in a new tab, you sign in there using the same flows you already know — BankID, email and password, or email and password with two-factor authentication — and the panel refreshes to the upload UI. Your authentication never passes through any third-party service; the only network call is between the Parsd web app and Parsd's Firebase backend, over HTTPS.

Privacy
The extension only collects data when you ask it to upload something (or when you send optional scan feedback). No analytics, no tracking, no advertising. The only network calls outside an active upload are the duplicate-detection check (an MD5 hash query against your own library) and the source-enrichment lookup (a domain query against your own Parsd sources).

Permissions (required)
- activeTab — read the page you're on at the moment you click the extension icon or the in-panel Analyze button
- scripting — inject the capture / detection script into that tab on demand
- sidePanel — show the Parsd UI as a Chrome side panel beside your tabs
- storage — keep you signed in and cache duplicate-detection results so the panel is fast on repeat visits

Optional permission (off by default)
- tabs — opt in via the "Auto-update as I browse" toggle at the top of the panel. Lets the panel follow your tab changes so the source-enrichment header and content-type label stay synchronised with what you're looking at. You can turn it off any time.

External-site access (granted on demand)
- When you click Analyze on a page that links to media or PDFs hosted elsewhere, the panel asks for permission to download from external sites. This is needed because publishers usually serve media from a different host than the page itself, and the extension needs to read those files to check them for duplicates and upload them. You grant this once via Chrome's standard prompt; you can revoke at any time from chrome://extensions.
