  WaitAIMinute displays gentle reminder banners above text input fields on popular AI tool websites, encouraging you to think before you prompt.
                                                                                                                                                                                  
  Supported on popular AI chat tools.                                                                                                                                         
  
  How it works:
    - A small banner appears above the AI input field with rotating ethical AI use reminders
    - Messages rotate every 30 seconds with smooth transitions
    - A progress bar shows your daily query count with fun dependency labels — from "Ninja" (0 queries) to "AI Addict" (10+)
    - Toggle reminders on/off anytime from the popup
  
  Query tracking:
      - Tracks how many prompts you send per day, per site    
      - Set a custom daily query limit (1–40) to manage your AI usage                                                                                                             
      - Fun dependency labels scale to your limit — from "Ninja" (0) to "AI Addict" (over limit)                                                                                  
      - Optionally block input when your daily limit is reached                                                                                                                   
      - Browse stats by date with a per-site breakdown                                                                                                                            
      - Today's count shows as a badge on the extension icon                                                                                                                      
      - Reset today's stats or all stats anytime 
  
  Sensitive information detection:
    - Scans your prompt in real-time before submission
    - Warns you if it detects personal data like email addresses, phone numbers, API keys, passwords, or other sensitive information
    - Helps prevent accidental sharing of private data with AI tools
  
  Examples of reminders:
    - "Wait a minute. Could you solve this yourself first?"
    - "Your brain is the best model. Give it a chance first."
    - "Pause. Think. Then decide if you really need AI for this."
  
  No data collection. No tracking. Runs entirely in your browser. Your settings sync across devices through your Chrome account.

  Breath pause:
    - Every few submissions, a full-screen breathing prompt takes over — an animated circle with a short grounding cue and a 5-second countdown
    - Interrupts autopilot prompting and gives you a moment to reset before sending the next prompt
    - The pause can't be skipped (Esc is blocked); it dismisses on its own when the countdown ends
    - Toggle it on/off and set how often it triggers (every Nth submission) from the popup
  
  Query tracking:
      - Tracks how many prompts you send per day, per site
