Gab AI browser extension — preview 0.2.6

Use Brave or Chrome for the best experience. Side chat works with a Gab AI
account without the Mac app, on any desktop OS supported by the browser.
Browser automation requires macOS 14+ and a compatible direct-download
Gab AI Mac app. This preview is not approved by the Chrome Web Store.

1. Extract the ZIP into a folder you will keep, such as a Gab AI folder in
   Documents. Do not delete or move that folder while using the extension.
2. Open brave://extensions or chrome://extensions. Turn on Developer mode,
   choose Load unpacked, and select the folder containing manifest.json.
3. Pin Gab AI and click its icon to open side chat. If the matching Mac app
   is connected and signed in, a guest panel signs into that account automatically.
   An existing browser sign-in is kept. Without the Mac connection, use Options
   > Sign in on gab.ai, then Reload. Your chats, models, plan and credits apply.
4. Add page to chat requests permission for that website and adds readable
   page text to your draft. Or select text, right-click, and choose Ask Gab AI.
   Review the draft before sending it to Gab AI and your selected model.
   New chat starts another conversation; use the chat menu for recent chats.

Optional Mac connection for automation:
Open Gab AI > Settings > Mac app > Browser and app access > Connect tabs.
Choose Brave or Chrome and follow the connection guide. If offered, choose
I already installed it. Wait for Connected, choose Done, then Save and continue.
Start a new Work task with browser access in the Mac app.
Website approval offers Allow once (this task), Allow for this site, Allow
for all sites, or Decline. Manage saved choices with Websites in Mac setup.
Blocked sites remain blocked even with all-sites access. Safari uses native
Mac app control instead; some actions need its window in front.

Data and control:
Chat sign-in stays at gab.ai, not in extension storage. Page text is added
only when you ask; sending it uses the ordinary Gab AI chat services/history.
Automation can discover tab titles/URLs and read approved page text, form
content and screenshots, which are sent through the Mac app to Gab AI and
its model/service providers. Sensitive information visible on a page may be
included. Use Take over to pause, Hand back to resume, or Stop to end access.
Incognito is disabled. Manage page permissions in the browser's extension
settings; manage automation website approvals in the Mac app.

Updates are manual: download the new preview, replace the contents of the
same installed folder, then select Reload on the Gab AI extension card.
When the store version is available, follow Gab AI's migration instructions;
this unpacked preview will not automatically update from the store.
