Best for: Persistently hiding, rearranging or augmenting elements on websites without writing userscripts

What it is

Established multi-model browser assistant whose Sider Code feature can reshape the layout and behavior of visited websites with natural-language instructions and remember those customizations for future visits.

In Choosely terms, this sits in the productivity & automation lane and is commonly selected for persistently hiding, rearranging or augmenting elements on websites without writing userscripts and summarizing and restructuring dense pages while staying in the browser.

Pricing

The browser extension and Sider Code can be installed and tried free. Paid plans add credits, stronger cloud-computer capacity and higher usage across Chat, Claw, Code and Create, but the official public pricing page currently does not expose a stable USD starting price.

Why people pick it vs where it falls short

Why people pick it

  • Sider Code can add actions, restructure content, extract information and persist changes for a site
  • Mature cross-platform product with a large installed browser-extension base
  • Combines page understanding, multi-model chat and optional browser action in one family

Where it falls short

  • The main extension handles website content and personally identifiable information, so broad browser access needs a serious permission and privacy review
  • Generated page changes can break when a site updates and should not be trusted for safety-critical or transactional workflows without review
  • Official web pricing currently exposes plan features and credit limits without a stable public USD starting price

When it is a strong fit

A strong match when your main priority is persistently hiding, rearranging or augmenting elements on websites without writing userscripts and you need a beginner-friendly starting point.

Useful when your team values high ease of use and fast execution over heavier setup.

Best when medium quality matters, but you still want a practical workflow rather than a complex implementation track.

How it compares in Choosely terms

  • Speed profile: Fast. This is best when you want momentum from prompt to usable output without heavy process overhead.
  • Ease profile: High for Beginner users. You can move quickly even if this is not your full-time specialty.
  • Control profile: Medium. Expect practical customization, but not an infinite-control architecture.
  • Pricing signal: Free plan. Good for teams balancing capability with cost sensitivity.
Tradeoff: The main extension handles website content and personally identifiable information, so broad browser access needs a serious permission and privacy review.
