Brave AI extension
Browsely — AI link previews & sidebar
Hover a link to preview, press pin to stack cards on the right, then open the AI sidebar in Brave's side panel to summarize or translate without losing your place. It fits alongside Brave Leo and keeps the source visible while you ask follow-up questions.
Link Preview
Faster triage
Preview headlines, metadata, and hero images before you click. Respectful of Shields and works whether you browse with vertical or horizontal tabs.
AI Sidebar
Inline answers
Ask for summaries, bullet points, comparisons, and translations while Brave keeps the source page in view.
Brave link previews
Know where every link leads
Hover to reveal a full card with the target title, publisher, social image, and an AI-generated snippet when a page is news-heavy, technical, or long-form. Toggle hover or click activation, mute previews on specific domains, or keep them off entirely when you share your screen. Because Browsely fetches only the metadata it needs, your browsing stays aligned with Brave's privacy defaults.
Each preview includes safety cues for unknown domains, file types, and redirects. Quick actions let you open in a background tab, copy the URL, or ask AI what to expect before committing a click. Keyboard shortcuts work next to Brave commands so you can pin or close previews without moving your mouse.
AI sidebar for Brave
Turn any page into an AI workspace
The Browsely AI sidebar lives in Brave's side panel, using live context from your active tab. Summarize reports, extract highlights, translate paragraphs, or draft replies without losing sight of the original page. The panel adapts to vertical tabs, split windows, and Brave playlists so you keep space for reading.
Save conversations per domain, reuse drafts across tabs, and drag highlighted text straight into your prompt. When you are done, copy rich text back into Gmail, Notion, or any app running inside Brave without losing formatting.
Brave-first benefits
Optimized for your browser
Browsely was tuned to feel native to Brave—from Shields-friendly previews to a side panel that sits next to Leo. Here is how it stays aligned with the way you already browse.
Try Browsely nowChrome Web Store ready
Install inside Brave from the Chrome Web Store. Updates stay automatic, and you can deploy it across Profiles or managed browsers with the same policies you already control.
Works with vertical tabs
Keep research organized with Brave's vertical tab layout. Previews open near your focus column and pinned cards stay tidy while the sidebar rides in the side panel.
Lightweight performance
Previews reuse existing network calls and the sidebar streams results incrementally, keeping CPU and memory overhead low on laptops and Chromebooks running Brave.
Privacy controls
Set site rules, disable AI on sensitive domains, or clear cached previews with a click. Browsely respects Shields, private windows, and Brave's tracking protections.
Brave workflows
Move from discovery to delivery faster
Whether you are triaging support tickets, researching competitors, or reading dense documentation, Browsely keeps you focused inside Brave. Start with a preview to avoid dead links, pin the promising sources, then ask the sidebar to summarize, extract next actions, or generate drafts.
Students, analysts, and creators rely on Brave's privacy defaults. Browsely mirrors that approach with domain rules, keyboard shortcuts, and a collapsible panel so you can keep full-screen reading when you need it.
Quick start checklist for Brave
- Install Browsely from the Chrome Web Store inside Brave and pin it next to your address bar.
- Choose hover, click, or keyboard activation for previews so they match your browsing style.
- Open the AI sidebar in the Brave side panel and allow page access to unlock summaries and drafting.

Brave-ready AI
Content velocity without tab overload
Browsely combines live previews with the AI sidebar so you can move quickly from discovery to delivery. Summarize long PDFs opened in Brave, request bullet points from technical docs, or translate foreign news without breaking focus. When you pin multiple previews, ask the sidebar to compare them, flag conflicts, or draft a blended summary.
Everything is scoped to your current tab for privacy, and you can clear all sidebar context or cached previews anytime. Brave users can even keep the sidebar opposite playlists or Leo so research stays organized.

- •Product managers: pin competitor pages, ask for differences, and export bullet points into a backlog.
