A Tampermonkey userscript to improve performance on Google AI Studio by keeping only the last 3 chat turns (prompt, thinking, response).
- Trims older chat turns to reduce DOM size and lag.
- Runs automatically on page load, every 30 seconds, and on DOM updates.
- Lightweight and easy to install.
- Install Tampermonkey in your browser.
- Click here to install the script, or copy it from the file.
- Tampermonkey will prompt to add it—confirm and enable.
- Open Google AI Studio.
- The script will automatically trim chats to the last 3 turns.
If you’re using an older laptop and noticed lag with Google AI Studio (like I did!), this script helps, but you can also optimize your browser:
- Enable Overlay Scrollbars: In Chrome, go to
chrome://flags, search "Overlay Scrollbars," set to Enabled, and restart. This reduces rendering load. - Disable Hardware Acceleration: Go to
chrome://settings/system, turn off "Use graphics acceleration when available," and restart. On older hardware, this can prevent slowdowns.
