Gemini Voyager: The versatile Gemini Advanced Toolkit

Gemini Voyager is a free and open-source extension for Chrome (as well as Chromium browsers) and Firefox. It acts as a UI/UX overlay, injecting new features and modifications directly into the browser's DOM to enhance the Gemini web experience. This allows it to add new features such as folders, change the panel layout, add new buttons, etc.

The main reason it's become an indispensable extension for many is that it works entirely within the browser. All changes are made locally and saved in your browser; no data is sent to external servers. For features that require synchronization, you can use your Google Drive account or use the manual import/export function.

Here's how to use Gemini Voyager to fix all Gemini web errors:

Fix the endless scrolling issue with Gemini Chat Folders

The main reason people install Gemini Voyager is because they're tired of pinning/unpinning conversations and endlessly scrolling through Gemini's chat list. This extension adds chat folders to Gemini to organize your conversations into custom folders. You can create separate folders for work or personal conversations and organize all related conversations within them.

It will add a separate Folders section above the conversations. Click the plus (+) icon to create a new folder and name it. You can add content to the folder by dragging and dropping the conversation into the folder or by clicking the dot menu next to a conversation and selecting Move to folder to add it.

You can even create subfolders to better manage your conversations, and they can all be color-coded for easy identification. Although the folders are stored locally, you can export them or sync them with Google Drive for easy transfer to other devices.

Customize the Gemini layout to your liking

Despite numerous complaints about Gemini's layout, some people particularly dislike the 600px of whitespace it leaves on either side of the chat box. This space could be used for the chat box itself. Gemini Voyager addresses many layout issues by allowing you to manually adjust the size of the tables and chat boxes.

You can access all of its controls from the extension button on the toolbar. Here, you'll find a series of sliders to adjust the chat box width, sidebar width, input area width, etc. People prefer a slightly wider chat box, so they only set it at 70%. You can experiment with the size and see the results in real time.

In addition to allowing control over the size of the chat window and sidebar, many people also really appreciate the automatic sidebar hiding feature. They can simply focus on the chat window and show the sidebar by hovering over it when needed.

Makes navigation easier in long conversations

You're probably not the only one who hates scrolling through dozens of messages in a long Gemini conversation to find specific information. Gemini Voyager offers several solutions to make navigation easier. The app displays all messages in a conversation as floating dots on a scroll bar. You can view the content of each message by hovering over these dots and clicking to go to that message.

You can even use the K and J shortcuts to quickly move forward or backward between messages. While many people prefer Gemini to automatically move to the latest response, there's also an option to prevent Gemini from automatically moving while you're reading the previous response.

Create and manage a complete Gemini prompt library

Many people have always used Google Keep to save and manage their questions. Frankly, they didn't find it annoying until they discovered the question manager in the Gemini Voyager extension. It lets you create a Gemini question library and easily use them in any chat. No more scrolling to find questions or the cumbersome copy/paste process.

This extension adds a floating button that you can click to open the Prompt Manager. Here, you can add your questions and organize them using tags. To use a question, simply click on it, and it will be copied for use anywhere. The best part is that it can also be enabled on all other popular AI chatbots from the settings.

These are some of Gemini Voyage's features that significantly enhance your Google Gemini experience. There are many other features worth considering, such as removing the Gemini watermark from photos. For even more enhancements, try adding extensions to Gemini to improve its capabilities.
