How it works: 1. Open a normal webpage. 2. Use the SideAI bubble or extension controls to open the side panel. 3. Log in to your selected AI provider if required. 4. Choose full-page, visible-area, or selected-area capture. 5. SideAI inserts the screenshot into the active provider input after the provider is ready.
Privacy: SideAI does not send screenshots, page content, or chat content to SideAI servers. Screenshots are created only after user action and are passed directly to the selected third-party AI provider page in your browser. Those providers have their own privacy policies and account requirements.
SideAI does not sell data, inject ads, or track browsing history for analytics. Settings are saved with Chrome storage. Per-site settings may include domain names so the extension can remember bubble visibility, bubble position, and default capture mode for that site.
Permissions are used for:
- Side panel access: show supported AI providers beside the current page.
- Storage: save settings and per-site preferences.
- Active tab, tabs, and scripting: find the active tab and run user-requested capture tools.
- Context menus and keyboard commands: start capture actions from Chrome UI.
- Host access: show the bubble on webpages and run user-triggered capture.
- Declarative net request: allow supported AI provider pages to load in the side panel.
Support: If you find a problem, contact the support email listed on this Chrome Web Store item.
