Submitters need to get back to more descriptive titles on HN. If this post is the first and only exposure to this project for a user, "Project Naptha" alone doesn't give me confidence to roll the dice and click on an unknown link unless there are existing comments I can investigate. Thus, chicken and egg, scroll by.

Android does this too, though you have to go into the app switcher for it to work. Super useful.
It would be great if Google allowed that everywhere. Does anyone know if it's on the roadmap?
What I would really like is a little bit like this but not quite the same: full text search over everything I have ever seen on the computer. It would read and index the emails, web pages, word docs, etc as I open them, then later when I think "I know I saw a doc about cache oblivious algorithms", I can search for it without being distracted by 100K documents I haven't seen. Or I can find that email I read, without f…

Same with Firefox on MacOS here.
Very interesting that Firefox would have this level of integration with the OS. Firefox of old was criticized specifically for being completelly not native to macOS. Times change. I might give Firefox a shot in the recent future.
I wonder also why such "convert" options are not made available or are they in the works?
what I would like to find is a free a cheap way to OCR my handwritten notes. I know that handwritten is much more difficult but it would be possible to use supervised learning mon my specific handwriting.

I don’t think he is saying it is working?
