How It Works
The extension intercepts prompts at the DOM level, before they leave the browser. No network proxy, no TLS break-and-inspect.
- User types a prompt on a supported AI platform.
- The extension captures the prompt before submission.
- The prompt is sent to your gateway for policy evaluation.
- Based on the policy decision, the extension allows, blocks, warns, or modifies the prompt.
- A color-coded toast notification informs the user of the outcome.
| Toast Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green | Prompt allowed (or modified with redactions) |
| Red | Prompt blocked — not sent to the AI platform |
| Amber | Warning — user may proceed |
| Blue | Justification required |
| Purple | Redirect to approved alternative |
Uninstall
- Chrome/Edge: Right-click the extension icon → Remove from Chrome.
- Firefox: Go to
about:addons→ find the extension → Remove. - Enterprise deployments: Remove the force-install policy from your MDM. The extension is automatically uninstalled on next policy sync.
