WHY DOES THE EXTENSION NEED PERMISSIONS? We require access to aistudio.google.com and gemini.google.com solely to inject the enhanced sidebar interface and read chat titles for organization. We do not access your other browsing history. --- Disclaimer: This extension is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google. 🔗 LINKS • GitHub: https://github.com/Paper-Crane-Devteam/better-sidebar-for-google-gemini-and-ai-studio • Discord: https://discord.gg/FRzesxaGAx
