the gemini nano + onnx split is the smart part — nano's gated behind chrome flags and a multi-gig pull on most machines, so the 67mb onnx model is what actually carries the 100%-local promise for everyone else.
The nostalgia angle is real - I grew up with Shimeji and BonziBuddy too. But my honest question is whether the "context-aware" part adds enough to make this a daily driver vs. a novelty you install, smile at for a week, and then disable. The local AI for sentiment analysis is cool in theory, but I'd want to know what the actual CPU/memory overhead looks like on an average laptop with 15+ tabs open. That's usually what kills these ambient extensions for me.
What's the actual CPU and memory footprint when Clawd is analyzing pages in the background?
@crystalmei Animations are offloaded to the GPU using the native Web Animations API, and background syncing is strictly throttled so it only runs on active tabs. For the AI analysis, it only scans the page <title> and <meta> description (capped at 500 characters) instead of the whole page body, so it barely uses any CPU!
