Good to know

Why the “all websites” permission?

Chrome shows it because the extension displays the AI sites inside the panel and keeps them responsive. It doesn’t read your browsing.

Free plans have limits

Each service sets its own free usage limits. When one runs out, switch tabs. Never paste passwords or private data into any AI.

Questions

Is Free AI Sidebar really free?

Yes. The extension is free, with no account, credits or subscription of its own. It opens the official ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini websites, so each service’s own free plan (and its limits) applies. If you pay for one of them, your paid plan works in the sidebar too.

Do I need an API key?

No. You sign in to chatgpt.com, claude.ai and gemini.google.com with your normal accounts, exactly like in a tab.

Does it read the pages I visit?

No. It doesn’t read, summarize or send the pages you browse. You choose what to share by copying text into the chat. Chrome shows a broad permission (“read and change data on all websites”) because the extension needs it to display the AI sites inside the panel and keep them responsive.

Where do my conversations go?

Straight to OpenAI, Anthropic or Google, as on their websites. Free AI Sidebar has no server and doesn’t collect your chats. Each provider’s own privacy settings apply.

How do I open and close the sidebar?

Click the extension icon, or press Ctrl+Shift+Z. You can change the shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
