- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17010062, a year agoThis is a spam addon that keeps opening the spam site 'superpowerdaily.com'
Please report and block this addon/developer. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16340105, a year agoThis extension has a ton of potential, but the bugs need to be worked out. I understand the need to monetize but make sure that you have a product that is worth being monetized before doing so.
If you can iron out the wrinkles then you have the best ChatGPT extension/add-on/etc. on the market. Hands down. But you have to fix the issues first.
As a developer myself, I'd recommend:
1. Make the extension ad-free universally. Just dial back some of the additional features that you grant individuals on the 'free' version and only allow those with a pro subscription to have it.
2. Be a bit more measured with your roll outs. I know that this is a feature rich extension and here for that. But the extra features cannot come at the sake of usability. The amount of RAM this extension started burning (immediately) caused my Firefox to crash. Repeatedly. I literally had to disable the extension (sadly; because it seems like it can do a lot)
3. Consider a framework or means of executing various changes to ChatGPT that doesn't involve such a drastic use of resources. I know that's much easier said than done but performance should be celebrated as much as all the nifty extra features you keep addiong.
4. Documentation is a must. I know this can be a pain in the ass for a ton of developers, but documentation will save the day for you time and time again because it answers 90% of the questions that you'll otherwise end up getting.
5. Clean up the interface PLEASE! There's simply too much going on in your control panel and it doesn't even display properly on my default settings (which do not deviate much from the original browser defaults).
6. Provide a way that you all can be contacted outside of Discord. I'm sure many of these issues would've been brought to your attention if you all had some means of contact OUTSIDE OF DISCORD. I know that everybody loves using Discord these days but...everybody doesn't. I'm one of them and I'm sure many other people fall under that umbrella as well. So if you have anything that's...not Discord (i.e., GitHub, any git repo hosting site of any sort, changelog-based site, Linear, etc.), then that would be much appreciated AND preferred for fellow developers like myself that are used to using those sites and already have an account on such + would be more than happy to write up an issue for you all to check out rather than dinging you 1-star on reviews to get you all's attention.
Now this review isn't meant to bash your product into the ground. As I stated at the beginning, you all have the best ChatGPT augmentation/add-on hands down IF you're able to iron out the kinks.
Your success as such will be contingent on that though. So until that's done, I will have to agree with the others that have given you 1-star and state that my vote remains there until substantial changes in the PERFORMANCE of this extension are made. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14091776, a year agoFull of crap. Chat history search does not work.
Developer response
posted a year agoThanks for the feedback.
For the search feature to work you need to
- Have auto-sync ON AND
- All your chats need to be synced first.
After that the search bar appears above the history and lets you search all your chats.
Thanks,
Saeed - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14076223, a year agoReally useful... but super spammy with their popups. I'm not even sure if firefox permits this under their TOS. The spam can be removed with a subscription which is crazy. Subscriptions are fine but they should give you access to pro features not access to a spam-free product.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Goodly, a year agoIssues that still need fixing:
- Badly handles latex, mostly failing to read them (those starting with \). Often, the end of Chatgpt responses glitches and isn't even shown, especially in Latex.
- they're pushing "superpower gpt pro" to turn off pop up ads for their newsletter. It also strangely makes itself a pinned tab on firefox.
Issues that were fixed:
- GPT 4 Vision cant paste your photos (CTRL+V).
- There is nowhere to contact them or submit issues.Developer response
posted a year agoThere are multiple ways to reach out to us. The best way is on our Discord which you can find the link to in the settings menu. We have a feature request and bug report channel.
I'll look into the Latex issue. I was also unaware that you could paste images into the chat input. I will add support for that soon.
The Pro account will include many more features in the future. - Rated 1 out of 5by tino926, a year agoThe automatic opening of a new tab to its own homepage can be perceived as spam. This practice is not acceptable, and even a one-star rating seems overly generous.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18081972, a year agoWhy would you start opening a tab each time the browser opens? Just provide the chatgpt addons, we don't need your spammy newsletter. Too bad, it was a good extension otherwise, had to remove.
Edit: fair enough, it can be removed by paying. Still, an addon that opens a tab as frequently as this one does is worth an one star review. - Rated 5 out of 5by k2k, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by mgalgs, a year agoI love the history search and the ability to save multiple custom instructions, but it's incredibly spammy, opens up tabs to the newsletter, etc. I've actually enjoyed some of the email newsletters but the constant haranguing for donations and auto-opening tabs is a bit much.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Lyd, a year agoI really want to like this extension, because many of its features, especially the organizational ones like folders, would be very useful if they weren't baked into such an unacceptably buggy package.
The extension has been off and on for months, in terms of whether it will work as intended, or completely break ChatGPT by eating your messages and not responding to them. Until now, this was "only" a problem when auto-sync was enabled. This meant that a lot of its functionality was gutted, but it did at least have a few helpful features intact like the export tool.
However, the most recent update has made it so that even having the extension *enabled* is enough to prevent messages from going through, making it downright useless.
I hope this extension is improved in the future, because a functional version would be a huge boon to anyone who uses the website extensively. - Rated 1 out of 5by Ducky, a year 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, a year 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, a year 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, a year 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 5 out of 5by hamouda, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Dragonator, a year 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! 🤌
Developer response
posted a year 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 3 out of 5by synsage, a year agoI like the extension and newsletter, BUT, the extension generates horribly large memory leaks on occasion. If my computer slows down to a crawl, I have to go looking for open windows with this extension running. It can easily draw 50GB of swap when it begins to leak.

posted a year agoQuote from someone in our Discord Channel:
"I'm so freaking stupid! The only reason the extension was SOOO slow was because I changed the base profile on Nvidia Inspector to be 30 FPS
And it applied to my Edge browser too XD
Now I reverted it to 60 and it works perfectly"
Not saying this is your issue, but there could be a setting related. That being said, the latest release (v5.5.8) includes major performance and reliability updates. Give that a try.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17953401, a year agoHave enjoyed using this addon, mainly for the ability to organise chats into folders. (A simple feature missing from native ChatGPT). The Chat imput box being pinned as now been resolved too, thank you to the developer. But i can't see the ADD FILE button in the chat input box, to upload files when using code interpreter model. How can I uopload files to ChatGPT using this extension.
Developer response
posted a year agoThank you. Glad you found it useful. To upload files, you need to turn off auto-sync. The short key to toggle auto-sync is CMD/CTRL+ALT+A - Rated 3 out of 5by Apollo, a year ago
