Is the AI Detector Chrome Extension free?

Yes. The extension is free to install and includes a generous free tier for AI detection and humanization. Pro users unlock unlimited scans and advanced humanization modes.

Which browsers does the extension support?

Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera are fully supported today. Firefox support is on the Q3 2025 roadmap.

Does the extension require a Chrome Web Store installation?

The stable version is available on the Chrome Web Store. A developer ZIP is also available for manual load-unpacked installation in enterprise environments.

What permissions does the extension need?

activeTab (read current tab on click), contextMenus (right-click menu), storage (save API key locally), notifications (optional), and scripting (inject results overlay). No host-permission snooping.

Does the extension read my browsing history?

No. We only process text you explicitly select or the active tab when you trigger analysis. We never read background tabs or your history.

Is my text stored on AIDetector.cx servers?

We process your text to return results but do not store your content after analysis. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Manifest V3 is the latest Chrome extension security standard. It enforces stricter permission scoping, removes remote code execution, and improves performance — making extensions safer for users.

Does the extension work on Google Docs?

Yes. You can highlight text inside Google Docs, use the right-click context menu, or run a full-document scan from the popup.

Does it work on Gmail and Outlook web?

Yes. Any editable or readable text on any webpage is compatible, including Gmail, Outlook, LinkedIn, and most CMSs.

How accurate is the AI detection in the extension?

The extension uses the same detection engine as AIDetector.cx, which achieves 98.6% accuracy on the latest GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini models.

Does the extension work on PDFs in the browser?

Text selection in browser-rendered PDFs is supported. Scanned image PDFs are not, as the extension cannot extract text from images.

Can I use the extension without creating an account?

You can run a limited number of free scans without an account. Creating a free account unlocks a higher quota and syncs results across devices.

Will the extension slow down my browser?

No. Detection processing runs asynchronously. Average analysis latency is under 200 ms and does not block page rendering.

Does the extension update automatically?

Yes. Chrome Web Store extensions receive silent automatic updates. You always run the latest detection models without manual steps.

How do I pin the extension to my toolbar?

Click the puzzle piece icon in your Chrome toolbar, find AIDetector.cx, and click the pin icon. The extension icon will always be visible.

Can I use keyboard shortcuts with the extension?

Yes. Default shortcuts are Alt+Shift+D (detect), Alt+Shift+H (humanize), Alt+Shift+A (full-page scan). You can customize them in chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

What is the right-click context menu feature?

When you select text on any page and right-click, you'll see "Detect AI" and "Humanize with AIDetector.cx" options. Results appear as an inline overlay.

Can I humanize text directly inside a web editor?

Yes. Select text in any contenteditable field (WordPress editor, Notion, Docs, etc.) and use the right-click menu or popup to humanize and paste back.

Is the humanizer in the extension the same as the website?

Yes. The extension connects to the same API and models used on AIDetector.cx, including all four humanization modes.

Does the extension support dark mode?

Yes. The popup and overlay automatically match your browser's dark/light mode preference.

Can I disable the extension temporarily?

Yes. Click the puzzle icon and toggle off AIDetector.cx, or right-click the extension icon and select "Manage extension" to disable it without uninstalling.

How do I uninstall the extension?

Right-click the extension icon and select "Remove from Chrome", or go to chrome://extensions, find AIDetector.cx, and click Remove.

Does the extension work in Incognito mode?

By default, extensions are disabled in Incognito. Go to chrome://extensions, find AIDetector.cx, and toggle "Allow in Incognito" to enable it.

Can multiple users share one extension on the same Chrome profile?

Extensions are tied to a Chrome profile. Each user should sign in with their own AIDetector.cx account for personal quota tracking.

What languages does the AI detection support?

AI detection works in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Japanese. More languages are added regularly.

Is the Chrome extension safe for enterprise use?

Yes. The extension is Manifest V3, requests only minimal necessary permissions, and transmits data over TLS. Enterprise deployment via Group Policy (ExtensionInstallForcelist) is supported.

Can I deploy the extension to all employees via IT policy?

Yes. Use Chrome's ExtensionInstallForcelist Group Policy to push the extension to all managed Chrome browsers in your organization.

Does the extension require Chrome Sync to be enabled?

No. Chrome Sync is not required. Settings are stored locally in chrome.storage.local.

What data does the extension send to AIDetector.cx servers?

Only the text you explicitly submit for analysis, your anonymized session token for authentication, and basic usage telemetry (feature used, word count). No page URLs, no browsing history.

How does the plagiarism check work inside the extension?

Selected text is submitted to our plagiarism API, which cross-references a large corpus of web content and academic publications and returns similarity scores within seconds.

Can I use the extension on a Chromebook?

Yes. ChromeOS supports Chrome extensions. Install via the Chrome Web Store the same way as on desktop.

Does the extension work on mobile Chrome?

Chrome on Android and iOS does not support extensions. Use the AIDetector.cx mobile-optimized website instead.

What is the difference between the extension and the website?

The extension gives you inline access from any webpage without leaving your workflow. The website offers a full dashboard, history, bulk scanning, and advanced reports.

Does the extension track which websites I visit?

No. We do not log page URLs or navigation history. The activeTab permission only activates when you explicitly click the extension.

How often is the AI detection model updated?

Models are updated every 4–6 weeks to keep pace with new versions of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other LLMs. Updates are silent and automatic.

Is the extension compliant with GDPR and CCPA?

Yes. We are GDPR- and CCPA-compliant. You can request data deletion at any time from your account settings or by contacting privacy@aidetector.cx.

Can I export my detection history from the extension?

Detection history syncs to your AIDetector.cx dashboard, where you can export it as CSV or PDF.

Does the extension conflict with other writing tools like Grammarly?

No conflicts are known. AIDetector.cx and Grammarly operate on different DOM layers and have been tested together without issues.

What happens if I lose internet connection while using the extension?

Detection and humanization require an internet connection to reach the API. An offline notice will appear, and the last result remains visible in the popup.

Where can I report a bug or request a feature?

Use the feedback button inside the extension popup, open a support ticket at support@aidetector.cx, or post on our community forum.

Is there an enterprise plan that includes the extension?

Yes. Our Enterprise plan includes unlimited seats, SSO, Group Policy deployment, a dedicated account manager, and priority SLA. Contact sales@aidetector.cx.
