I'm not sure what the implementation is on Chrome/Desktop; probably something similar.
I've been particularly feeling like this regarding AI code reviewers recently - I don't want a copilot that will do their own review, I want a hud that will make it easier for me to understand the change.
I've been toying with crafting such a code review tool as a side project recently: https://useglide.ai
