The browser plugin is implemented using WebExtensions, so that it will run in #chromium based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera, etc.) as well as in #Firefox.

The plugin is already available in the chrome extension store, and I'm currently waiting for the required plugin review for Firefox.

The upcoming #Part-DB version will have a browser plugin, allowing you to directly send a shop page to your Part-DB to create a database part from it. No more link copy-pasting.
And as it also sends the HTML from the browser, this also works with heavily ddos protected and JavaScript heavy pages.

Together with the #AI extractor you can now extract detailed part information from any webshop, including AliExpress and ebay.

Part-DB's #AI features utilize the new @symfony AI component, especially AI platform to make it platform agnostic and allow for different AI providers.
Currently there is support for #openrouter to support a variety of cloud based LLMs, and #lmstudio for self hosted AI on your local GPU.

With the new #AI website scraper you can now extract detailed part information like prices, data sheets, parameters and more, from (almost) any webshop.
It utilizes an #LLM to convert the text of the website to a structured representation Part-DB can use.
This even works with Webshops who contain no or very little structured metadata.

So now you can easily import things from almost any supplier into your Part-DB database with just 2 clicks and no need to transfer Infos by hand.

If you are using Part-DB as an central database for @kicad, you can now define your own list of footprints and symbols for autosuggestion in Part-DBs editor. That's especially useful if your team uses its own library and does not rely on #kicad standard library.
