Lorem Ipsum Generator — Smart Lipsum

About

Smart Lipsum is a fast, lightweight Chrome extension for generating placeholder text. It gives you three ways to create and insert text: a popup interface, a right-click context menu, and a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+L). It always copies clean plain text — no formatting issues when pasting into code editors, CMS, or design tools — and requests zero access to your browsing data.

✨ Key Features:

• Three input methods — popup, context menu, and hotkey so you can generate text the way that fits your workflow
• Always plain text — no rich text formatting problems when pasting
• Paragraphs, sentences, or words — choose your unit and exact count (1–99 paragraphs, 1–9999 words)
• HTML wrapping — optionally wrap output in <p>, <li>, <h1>–<h3> tags for quick prototyping
• 3 customizable presets — save your favorite configs and switch instantly
• Auto-copy on generate — skip the Copy button entirely (optional)
• Dark mode & light mode — matches your browser theme automatically, or set manually
• Settings sync — preferences follow you across Chrome browsers via your Google account
• Under 50KB — installs in under a second, uses zero memory when idle

🎯 Who It's For:

• Web developers who need placeholder text while building layouts
• UI/UX designers creating mockups and prototypes
• Content managers testing CMS templates and email layouts
• QA engineers filling forms with test data
• Students working on web design projects

🔒 Privacy & Security:

• No data collection — zero analytics, zero tracking
• No network requests — works 100% offline
• Minimal permissions — only clipboardWrite, storage, activeTab, contextMenus
• No "read all data on all websites" — unlike extensions that request broad access
• Under 50KB total — no bloat, no external dependencies

❓ FAQ:

Q: Does it work offline?
A: Yes. It works entirely offline and never contacts any server.

Q: What permissions does it need?
A: clipboardWrite (to copy text), storage (to save settings), activeTab and contextMenus (for right-click insertion). It never reads your browsing data.

Q: Can I generate HTML-formatted text?
A: Yes. Toggle HTML mode to wrap output in <p>, <li>, or heading tags. The raw HTML is copied to your clipboard.

Q: Does it save settings between sessions?
A: Yes. Preferences sync across Chrome browsers via your Google account.

Q: Can I customize the keyboard shortcut?
A: The default is Ctrl+Shift+L (Cmd+Shift+L on Mac). Change it in Chrome → Extensions → Keyboard Shortcuts.
