FAQ

Who can access my data?

Your conversations stay between you, your device and Anthropic. Maybe some [insert intelligence agency] agent too, but they don't count.

Are you planning to add more features?

Nope. This extension does one thing, and it does it well.

Will you be updating this regularly?

Unless it breaks, probably not. It works, so why mess with it?

Can you add support for [insert any feature]?

See previous answers. The extension backs up conversations. That's it.

I found a bug. Will you fix it?

If it's stopping the extension from doing its one job, maybe. Otherwise, see above.

Can I contribute to this project?

You're welcome to fork it and go wild. Or shamelessly copy-paste it, I don't care. I won't do any PR reviews though, so I guess no.

Will you port this to Chrome/Safari/Opera/etc.?

That sounds like work. So, no.

How often should I back up my conversations?

Whenever you feel like it.

Is there a premium version with more features?

There isn't even a basic version with more features.

Where can I get support?

You're looking at all the support you're going to get. This FAQ is it.

Are you okay?

No, I hate front-end development. Claude did >90% of the work and I still hated it.
