- Rated 1 out of 5by Ducky, 2 years agoThe webpage pop-ups and emails (acquired from your ChatGPT data which is an interesting choice in itself) are way too overbearing and unnecessary. If people are interested, they will sign up.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18068643, 2 years agoIn ChatGPT, the extension is great, but outside of ChatGPT, it is extremely annoying. It opens tabs without asking and when you're not using ChatGPT. Update: The developer "responded" by making not opening tabs a $10/mo "feature".
- Rated 1 out of 5by Chris C, 2 years agoWhile the actual ChatGPT functionality integrates fairly nicely (e.g. folders), the "Superpower Daily" stuff is simply unacceptable.
The automatic subscription to an email newsletter is bad but at least you can unsubscribe/auto-delete them. But automatically opening the website version randomly with seemingly no option to disable it is completely unacceptable. Disabling the newsletter in the settings did not prevent this behaviour.
I consider that to essentially be malware and is exactly the kind of behaviour I'd expect from adware.
While the newsletter is disclosed, hiding it in the fine print at the end of the extension description is hostile. Auto-subscribing is a hostile. Opening tabs automatically (which is not disclosed) is just plain malicious.
I have concerns trusting the privacy of this extension given the other problematic behaviour. - Rated 1 out of 5by Gudyns, 2 years agoGreat extension but the random opening a new tab for an update or when you start the browser without an option to disable it just doesn't make me comfortable using it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Dragonator, 2 years agoIt started periodically opening a new tab to their homepage. Without user input, or any warning of any kind. This is just a NO NO! 🤌

posted 2 years agoHi,
It's a common practice for many free extension to open a donation tab every time you update the extension. With every update, instead of opening a donation tab to ask you for money, I open the newsletter tab and provide you some value by sharing the most recent AI news. Keep in mind, this only happens when we release a new update for the extension. The extension never randomly opens new tab on its own.
Best,
Saeed - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17983634, 2 years agoI really wanted to love it and tried three times over the last four months or so. It's buggy as hell.

Give that a try. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17973888, 2 years agoall it seems to do is allow you yo open a tab into chat gtp. i can do that my self, id expected some kind of side bar functionality

posted 2 years agoHi,
You must have not given it permission to run on your tab. There are way more features in this extension than just opening a new tab. Please give it another try, and make sure it's running on your ChatGPT page. We also have a discord channel.

Developer could have easily added a popup asking if users wanted to be signed up but hides behind the reason that "it was in out privacy policy, you should have read that". Very scummy behavior.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThe newsletter is part of this extension. It's mentioned in our privacy policy, which is listed on the extension page. You can read the privacy policy before you download the extension.
People love our newsletter and read it daily. But if you don't want to receive the email newsletter, you can unsubscribe with one click, and you won't receive any email from us anymore. - Rated 1 out of 5by Mhisani, 2 years agoConstant popups whenever an update is given. sometimes multiple times a day, ad ,ad ,ad ,ad. whilst i accept that the addon says you must sign up for newsletter I do not agree that personal data should be pulled from openai to create an email sub. Addon has nice toys but gets annoying when you're doing other things, get two pages open. back to chatgpt and an update log with ads while i'm watchiing a film too. Great premise but a little murky on irritants. Even uninstalling the addon takes me to yet another webpage for some work from home crap. You're the product.

posted 2 years agoI'm not sure what ads you are referring to, but there is absolutely no ads in this extension. We do have a popular newsletter that our users love to read to stay up to date with all the AI news. But if that bothers you, you can simply disable it with one click and you won't see it again. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 11609870, 2 years agoStole email address and started sending emails without permission. Super shady. Avoid this one!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ruakij, 2 years agoHarvesting data from OpenAI-Account and Automatic Newsletter Signup? Are you insane?
- Rated 1 out of 5by stirante, 2 years agoHarvested my email from requests to ChatGPT and started sending me a newsletter. No option to remove my email from their database, no option to opt out of this, no info on how the data is stored. The options to disable newsletter and changelog doesn't even work.
- Rated 1 out of 5by auroris, 2 years agoHarvested my email address and started sending me spam. I did not at any time provide the extension author with my email address.
