Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Arc install it from the Chrome Web Store. Firefox users install it from Firefox Add-ons (Firefox 140 or later). It works on most pages that let you select text; a few protected pages, like browser settings and some PDFs, block extensions.
Does it read the pages I visit?
No. It only sends the text you select, and only when you ask. Your question history is stored in your browser, not on our servers.
How do I activate Pro?
After you buy, your Gumroad receipt contains a license key. Open the extension popup, paste the key under Activate Pro and press Activate. If your popup asks for an email instead, you're on an older version: enter your purchase email, or update the extension to use the key.
Can I use Pro on more than one computer?
Yes. Activate the same key on each browser you use. Your 100 daily questions are shared between them.
Are the answers always right?
No. Answers come from an AI model and can be wrong or incomplete. It's built to say when it's unsure, but check anything important against a reliable source.
How do I cancel?
Use the "Manage membership" link in your Gumroad receipt. Pro keeps working until the end of the period you paid for.
