  description

  AI Chat Shield protects your AI conversations AND audits every browser extension's permissions — the only tool that does both.
  
  Over 8 million users have had their AI chats silently harvested by malicious extensions. But dangerous permissions aren't limited to AI spying — extensions can also harvest your browsing history, read your clipboard, inject scripts into web pages, and access your identity. Enterprise DLP tools exist, but they cost $4–90/user/month and require IT departments to deploy.
  
  AI Chat Shield gives you complete extension security for free.
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  
  AI Chat Shield scans every installed extension and analyzes permissions, behavior patterns, and network capabilities across two dimensions: AI chat interception risk and general permission threats. Each extension receives a risk score from 0–100 based on six weighted factors:
  
  Host Permission Breadth — How many websites can this extension access?
  AI Platform Targeting — Does it specifically target AI chat platforms, or just have broad access?
  Network Capabilities — Can it intercept or transmit data from the pages you visit?
  General Permission Risks — Does it access your history, clipboard, location, identity, or system-level APIs?
  Publisher Reputation — Is it from the Chrome Web Store? How many users does it have?
  Known Threat Database (Pro) — Does it match any documented malicious extension?
  
  WHAT WE DETECT
  
  - AI Chat Interception — Extensions that can access the most common AI chats
  - Data Harvesting — Access to browsing history, bookmarks, downloads, and cookies used for profiling
  - Privacy Intrusion — Clipboard reading, geolocation tracking, and privacy setting access
  - Content Injection — Script injection capabilities that can modify or capture page content
  - System Access — Native messaging, debugger access, and the ability to manage other extensions
  - Identity & Auth — Browser identity and account access that could enable impersonation

  YOUR PRIVACY IS OUR PRODUCT
  
  AI Chat Shield NEVER reads your conversations or browsing data. We analyze extension metadata, permissions, and behavioral patterns only — for both AI chat risks and general permission auditing. All scan data is stored locally on your device. We don't use analytics, tracking, or advertising. Our content detection identifies AI platforms by URL pattern only — it never touches page content.
  
  Pro subscription validation sends only your email address to our server to verify your subscription status. No other data ever leaves your browser.
  
  Built by a cybersecurity company, not an ad company.

  AI Chat Shield protects your AI conversations and audits your installed browser extensions in one place.
  
  Malicious or over-permissioned extensions can access AI chat sites, browsing history, clipboard data, cookies, page content, and account-related permissions. AI Chat Shield helps you review those risks with a clear, local-first dashboard.
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  
  AI Chat Shield scans your installed extensions and evaluates declared permissions, host access, install source signals, and AI platform targeting. Each extension receives a 0 to 100 risk score with a transparent factor breakdown so you can see why it was flagged.
  
  Core scoring signals include:
  
  Host Permission Breadth: How many sites can this extension access?
  AI Platform Targeting: Does it explicitly target AI chat platforms or broadly cover them?
  Network Capabilities: Can it intercept or modify requests through powerful extension permissions?
  General Permission Risks: Does it request access to history, clipboard, identity, privacy, downloads, cookies, or system-level APIs?
  Publisher and Install Source Signals: Was it installed from the Chrome Web Store or through a higher-risk path?
  
  WHAT WE DETECT
  
  - AI chat exposure on supported AI platforms
  - Data harvesting risks involving history, bookmarks, downloads, and cookies
  - Privacy intrusion risks such as clipboard, geolocation, and privacy-setting access
  - Content injection capabilities that can alter or capture page content
  - System access such as native messaging, debugger access, and extension management
  - Identity and authentication access that could increase account risk

  YOUR PRIVACY
  
  AI Chat Shield does not read, store, or transmit your AI conversation content or browsing history. It analyzes extension metadata, declared permissions, host access, and risk signals only. Scan results and recent history stay in local extension storage on your device. We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising.
  
  AI platform detection is based on URL pattern matching only. It does not inspect page content.
  
  If you choose Pro, subscription validation sends only your email address to our server to verify subscription status. No scan contents, browsing data, or chat contents are sent.
