Is SideAI: AI Sidebar For ChatGPT - Free Access safe?
SideAI sends user-selected page text, full-page visible text, and page URLs into ChatGPT.
When a user invokes the page assistant or context-menu actions, SideAI can collect visible text from the current page, the current URL, or selected text. It forwards that content through its side panel into a ChatGPT page, where it is inserted into the prompt and submitted.
