I built a Chrome extension to export CoCounsel legal research chats to clean PDFs, Markdown, and JSON

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a Chrome extension I recently built to solve a specific formatting headache in legal tech: CoCounsel to PDF.

🔍 The Problem

Thomson Reuter's CoCounsel AI is widely used by lawyers and paralegals for legal research. However, saving those chats for client files or billing trails is incredibly messy. The browser's built-in Print to PDF often cuts off text, breaks citation links, and scrambles tables or structured lists.

🛠️ The Solution

I built this extension to download chats with one click into highly polished files.

Key Features:

  • Preserves formatting: Code blocks, structured tables, headings, and legal citation links stay intact.
  • Multiple formats: Export to PDF, Markdown (.md), JSON, or plain text.
  • Batch Export: Download multiple conversation threads at once to save time.
  • Optional Cloud Backups: Connects to Google Drive, Notion, and Dropbox for seamless case file logging.

🔒 Privacy First (Crucial for Legal Tech)

Since this is built for legal professionals handling sensitive client data, everything is processed 100% locally in the user's browser.

  • No user accounts are required.
  • Zero chat data or telemetry is sent to external servers.

I'd love to hear your feedback or answer any questions you have.

How much testing do you do for your extension before each release?

One of my extension requires 4-6 hours of testing and it's quite draining, wondering if people have better ways to manager their testing!

Inflated user numbers in chrome developer dashboard lately?

Any other chrome extension developers seeing Inflated user numbers in chrome developer dashboard lately? My portfolio went from 12.5k users to 17.5k users lately, but when I look at the individual numbers of installs/impressions of individual extensions they are not inflated and normal. I would get 200/300 user additions per day across my portfolio, but it has been 2000-3000 user additions per day.

made a tool to export Venice AI chats locally to PDF (private and zero-tracker)

If you’re using Venice, you probably care about not having your data floating around in Big Tech clouds. One feature I felt was missing, though, was a way to get a clean, high quality backup of my conversations without relying on a third party Share link that might expire or be indexed.

I built a tool called Venice AI to PDF specifically for this.

Why use it:

  • Preserves the UI: It handles tables, code blocks, and images perfectly, maintaining the clean Venice look in the document.
  • Captures the Full History: Long conversations usually hide early messages to save memory (lazy loading). This extension scrolls through the history for you automatically to ensure you get the very first message in your export.

It’s free, has zero trackers, and is specifically for Venice users who want a permanent, high-quality offline archive of their private chats. It also has a "Export all" button which allows you to download multiple chats at once with a single click.

It is also available for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/venice-ai-to-pdf/

If you find any bugs on super long research threads, let me know and I'll push an update!
