Is Search & Chat AI safe?
Search & Chat AI injects server-supplied JavaScript into matched pages and accepts remote request-rule updates.
Search & Chat AI runs on every website and fetches configuration from search-chat.ai that can supply encoded JavaScript for the page toolbar. The same server response can replace the extension's dynamic request rules, including request-header modification rules across matched URLs. Any page can also send text to the extension's stream bridge, which forwards the question to search-chat.ai for AI responses.
