Building a Chrome extension that summarizes articles in your own language — launching Sept 17

Hi everyone I'm Krzysztof, a solo developer from Poland. In two weeks I'm launching
K-TL;DR a Chrome side-panel extension that turns any article into a
bullet-point summary, always in the reader's own language (even if the
article is in French, Chinese or Arabic). The problem I built it for: I read a lot of long-form content in several
languages and wanted ONE click that gives me the takeaways without leaving
the page or pasting text into ChatGPT. A few things I learned building it solo: Extracting clean article text is harder than the AI part ads, cookie banners and comment sections poison the input. Mozilla Readability solved it. Server-side limits are non-negotiable. Anything the client can claim, the client can fake. I ran 5 self-imposed security/code audits before publishing. Best decision of the whole project. Two questions for you:
1. What's the one feature you'd expect from a summarizer that most tools miss?
2. Do you read more in your native language or in English? Free plan is 3 summaries/day if you want to try it feedback very welcome
