Now2.ai RTL Fixer
## Overview
[Now2.ai](https://go.now2.ai/?from=github) RTL Fixer is a Chrome extension that automatically fixes RTL (Right-to-Left) text handling in AI chat platforms. If you've ever tried typing Hebrew or other RTL languages in AI assistants, you've likely encountered issues with text alignment, mixed language display, and overall text direction. This extension solves these problems seamlessly.
## Supported Platforms
- Claude.ai
- ChatGPT
- Google Gemini
- Google NotebookLM
- Perplexity.ai
## Features
- **Automatic RTL Fixing**: Automatically detects and fixes RTL text handling issues
- **Toggle Functionality**: Easily enable or disable the extension for specific sites
- **Non-Destructive**: Applies changes without modifying your actual text content
- **Platform-Specific Optimizations**: Custom-tailored fixes for each supported platform
- **Visual Indicator**: Subtle indicator shows when RTL Fixer is active
## Installation
### From Chrome Web Store
1. Visit the [Chrome Web Store](https://go.now2.ai/rtl-fixer-chrome-web-store?from=github)
2. Search for "Now2.ai RTL Fixer"
3. Click "Add to Chrome"
### Manual Installation (Developer Mode)
1. Download or clone this repository
2. Open Chrome and navigate to `chrome://extensions/`
3. Enable "Developer mode" (toggle in the top-right corner)
4. Click "Load unpacked" and select the extension directory
## How It Works
When you visit any of the supported AI chat platforms, RTL Fixer automatically activates and:
1. Monitors the page for text input areas and message displays
2. Applies the correct RTL handling to elements that need it
3. Shows a subtle indicator to let you know it's working
4. Maintains proper text direction even as new content loads
## Technical Details
### Text Direction Handling
RTL Fixer uses three strategies for handling text direction:
- **Auto Detection**: Perfect for mixed content (both RTL and LTR in the same element)
- **Direction Inheritance**: Maintains consistency with parent elements
- **Forced RTL**: Used when specific elements need guaranteed RTL layout
### Implementation
The extension uses:
- MutationObserver to monitor for DOM changes
- CSS isolation techniques to prevent conflicts
- Platform-specific selectors for precise targeting
- Optimized performance with minimal overhead
## Privacy & Security
RTL Fixer:
- Works entirely in your browser
- Never collects or transmits any data
- Doesn't modify your actual text content
- Can be disabled for any site with a single click
- Full [Privacy Policy](https://github.com/idanmashaal/Now2ai-RTL-Fixer/blob/main/PRIVACY_POLICY.md)
