Shady extension. Is collecting a lot of data. uninstalled it after a day of usage.

"Sidebar: ChatGPT, Bookmarks, GPT-4o | Meomni" - A Privacy Minefield? Overview: The "Sidebar: ChatGPT, Bookmarks, GPT-4o | Meomni" extension offers an array of features aimed at enhancing productivity, from AI assistance to calendar integration. However, a closer examination reveals serious concerns regarding data privacy and security. Suspicious Elements: Excessive Permissions: The extension requests permissions that include access to sensitive authentication information like passwords, credentials, security questions, or PINs. Such permissions are far beyond what's typically needed for the stated functionality. Data Collection Concerns: The privacy policy admits to collecting authentication data, which raises red flags about data security and potential misuse. There's no clear justification for why this level of personal information is necessary for the extension's features. Developer Anonymity: The developers, operating under "Meomni" or "Rendom Lab," maintain a low profile with no transparent public identity. The lack of clear developer information, including LinkedIn profiles or company records, adds to the distrust. Potential for Malware: Given the broad data access, there's a significant risk that this extension could serve as a vector for data theft if compromised by malicious actors or if the developers have ulterior motives. Unclear Data Transmission: Network analysis might reveal that the extension sends data to unknown or unexpected endpoints. While I cannot perform this analysis directly for the moment, users should be wary of any data being sent to domains or services not explicitly needed for the extension's operations. Opaque Developer Background: The WHOIS information for rendom.net is obscured by privacy services, and there's no clear digital footprint linking to a reputable developer identity, which is unusual for legitimate software developers. Lack of Transparency: There's no evident commitment to open-source code or third-party audits that could assure users of the extension's integrity. Conclusion: While the utility of the features might be appealing, the combination of excessive data permissions, lack of developer transparency, and the potential for data misuse makes this extension highly suspect. Users are strongly advised to avoid installation or to uninstall if already in use, and to change any passwords or sensitive information that might have been exposed. Recommendation: Uninstall: If you've installed this extension, remove it from your browser immediately. Audit: If you're technically inclined, perform your own network audit to see where and how data is being transmitted. Seek Alternatives: Look for extensions with clear privacy policies, transparent developer backgrounds, and necessary permissions aligned with their functionality.

so so should be free

ITS SO GOOD. CLEAN AND EASY UI

asked me to rate it

I really liked this tool but it charges you to keep using it, some tools like the calculator, password generator, radio and others stop working and the sidebar asks you to pay right off the bat idk if all sidebars ask you to pay but if they did i'd probably trash all the extensions and use ones that aren't paid. or use third party sidebars that aren't part of web browsers. either way I am not keeping this on until that part of the sidebars is removed ffs.

ChatGPT does not work.

This extension has a great concept, but poor execution. On the face of it looks really nice, and I love the user interface. The premium vs free features also seem balanced. However, some features are broken like the calendar and weather. The weather always displays an absurdly wrong number (not sure if this is due to the Celsius and Fahrenheit toggle no longer doing anything). Also, if you want to change the stock that shows on your screen it does nothing. And the calendar won't show any of my calendars except birthdays which I don't use. Also please bring back the 3 free calendars that you included that showed game and movie releases. Also, the search bar does not work for me, and the sidebar always highlights the bookmarks tab as being selected even if it is not. Also why did you make the hover animation on the side bar a circle, but the selected part a square. This would not be a problem if whenever I hover over an already selected icon, I see a random white circle in the middle of the icon. Also, it is important to note that this extension has broken an infinite number of times in the past (I have been using this for a year I think) with similar issues. Overall, the dev team has been very good at responding and fixing these issues, but sometimes they take up to a week to fix and if they happen very often, it is not a good sign regarding the stability of the extension. Other than these minor nitpicks (some of them are major), this extension is amazing and if these issues are fixed, I would definitely change my rating to 5 stars.

Hey dev, you should mention that your addon "Meomni: Definitive ChatGPT Sidebar" doesnt work without account. Not mentioned beforehand. 1 star.

Pages reload due to the same extension every 60 seconds

Really need a shortcut to close the sidebar, i know the default way to open sidebar is Alt+X, however , it can not be closed by press that again which is really annoying! We need to close the sidebar by pressing the same Shorcut!

its good but it i dont like how it changes new tab i just like the sidebar they should give you the option to keep new tab and the side panel but im not using this until it gives an option to not change new tab

i can't seem to open the extension on my arc browser, even if i re-installed and pinned it millions of times

Bad interface with the AI and the extension can be a bit intrusive at time. It needs to be more user friendly and less intrusive. But overall a good and potential extension, hence why I won't be deleting any time soon would still like to see it flourish though. Thank you for reading. Goodluck!

jjj

the "chat GPT" gets me wrong when I use it on progress learning/ USAtestprep. The other features such as the timer, Mimi tab, and screensaver, works perfectly good, so I don't recommend you use this during a important test.

Sidebar was always clanky since search option was not ideal. But now I cannot even turn it on. Sidebar do not show up anywhere. Sidebar was always clanky since search option was not ideal. But now I cannot even turn it on. Sidebar do not show up anywhere.

all purpose assistant not working

GOOD

Just doing this so they can't ask me (they asked me once and it may be again so not taking that risk.) But the three stasrs is honest, and honestly why did they call the button "Rate 5 Stars" and not "Rate", this really doesn't deserve 5 stars in my opinon.

not bad

its good =

amazing

i like it but certain things were annoying to integrate... also i'm only writing this review because every time i log it it asks me to write a review via pop-up. Very annoying. I'm hoping this makes that stop

So, this is a pretty sick sidebar but doesn't make sense. I use it and it works pretty fine. But why do I have to pay to use the calculator. In fact all the tools I have to have plus for. There should also be an option where you hover your mouse to the side of the screen and the side bar pops out. Instead of having to use the browsers built in sidebar. And it's so annoying how every time I open the sidebar it tells me to connect an account. And I already connected a Microsoft account. And I already tried to connect a google account at first but it didn't work. And why are embedded apps not available for Edge. Fix that Please. And for Music add spotify as an embedded app. I kind of saw this as a replacement for Manganum. But honestly. Rendom's got a lot of work to do to reach their level.

It is attractive and seems useful, but it no longer displays my bookmarks, this happened within the first couple hours after installing it. I open bookmarks and nothing shows. Clicking Refresh does nothing. I'm going to uninstall for this reason. Also the Timeline preset has the search bar covering some text, I can't make out what it is covering up and there's no way to move the search bar out of the way. Using acer 315 chromebook.

Please hide sidebar on default, having it on my extension is good enough for my personal workflow, I don't need sidebar shows on every single pages I visit and had to manually disable it each time.
