Gab AI browser extension — preview 0.2.11

Use Brave, Chrome or Microsoft Edge. 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, chrome://extensions or edge://extensions. Turn on Developer mode,
   choose Load unpacked, and select the folder containing manifest.json.
   A welcome page opens with a visual pinning guide and sample prompts.
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.
   Add all open tabs collects pages in this window. Add tab group collects
   the active tab's group. Each page keeps its title and URL. The browser asks
   for access to the chosen sites; unavailable and duplicate pages are skipped.
   Batches include up to 50 unique pages, 20,000 characters per page and 100,000
   characters total. The status tells you when pages are skipped or shortened.
   Switching tabs or opening a citation keeps your current chat and draft.
   Closing and reopening restores the conversation for this browser session.
   Each window has its own conversation; New chat starts fresh.

Draft replies on X:
Visit x.com or twitter.com and click the Gab AI icon beside a post's reply,
repost and like actions. Arya drafts a reply in side chat using that post,
its quoted text and the available parent post on conversation pages.
Edit the draft, or add reply guidance and choose Regenerate. Insert into X
opens the original post's reply box; Copy reply is available if X's layout
changes or you already have a draft. Review it and post yourself.
Nothing is posted automatically. Sign in under Options if prompted, then
Reload chat and Generate reply. Your Gab AI plan and credits apply.
Reload existing X tabs after updating the extension. This feature requires
the matching Gab AI website update as well as extension 0.2.11.

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.
Clicking a post's Gab AI icon sends that post and available thread/quoted
text to Gab AI for reply generation with Arya. The request and reply can
remain in your Gab AI history. The extension holds the current reply and
guidance in browser-session storage for up to 30 minutes after an edit;
Dismiss clears it from the extension. Credentials stay at the Gab origin.
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.
Updates do not reopen the welcome page. To revisit it, open side chat's
Options menu and choose Welcome & setup guide, or use Extension options
on the Gab AI card in your browser's Extensions page.
When the store version is available, follow Gab AI's migration instructions;
this unpacked preview will not automatically update from the store.
