Chrome extension enables local Stable Diffusion 1.5 image generation

A new Chrome extension allows users to run Stable Diffusion 1.5 locally within their browser using WebGPU. This tool requires Chrome 113+ and approximately 4-6 GB of RAM, with an initial download of about 2.1 GB for the model. The extension offers a free, private, and offline image generation experience, though current limitations include 512x512 output and occasional artifacts, with plans to address these and add features like LoRA and ControlNet support.
