v0.1.1

What's new in v0.1.1

• Query history — every text sent to OpenEvidence is now recorded locally (URL + final text). For PICO and custom-prompt rewrites, the original selection, the prompt, and the transformed output are captured too. History is capped at 200 entries (newest first) and can be turned off with a new Record history toggle in Settings.
• Tabbed options page — the options page is reorganized into Settings · Prompts · History tabs. The History tab supports per-entry delete and Clear all; custom prompts now live in their own Prompts tab.
• UpToDate button — a new toolbar button searches the selected text on UpToDate (uptodate.com/contents/search) in an adjacent tab, mirroring the Ask OpenEvidence behavior.

All history stays in chrome.storage.local — never synced, never sent anywhere.

Install in Chrome

1. Download oe-extension-v0.1.1.zip from the Assets below.
2. Unzip it to a folder you'll keep (Chrome loads the extension from this path).
3. Open chrome://extensions in Chrome.
4. Toggle Developer mode on (top-right corner).
5. Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder.
6. The extension icon appears in the toolbar — pin it for quick access.

The .crx artifact is also provided. Chrome blocks installing CRX files dragged from outside the Web Store, so the Load unpacked method above is recommended.

Enable local PDF support (optional)

1. Open chrome://extensions and click this extension's Details.
2. Enable Allow access to file URLs.

If the floating toolbar doesn't appear in Chrome's built-in PDF viewer, select text, right-click, and choose Ask OpenEvidence.

Set up Groq (optional, for PICO & custom prompts)

The PICO and custom prompt buttons appear only after a Groq API key is validated in the extension options. The key is stored locally via chrome.storage.local and is never bundled or sent anywhere except Groq API requests.
