DiscourseCopilot now asks for access one forum at a time instead of to every website.

Highlights

  • No more "read and change all your data on all websites". At install, the extension can only reach the AI provider APIs and your own computer (for local models). The first time you use a Discourse forum, the side panel asks you to Allow access to that forum only.
  • Clear guidance in the side panel for every kind of page: page not checked yet, not a Discourse forum, allow access to this forum (with the steps for Chrome's prompt), and forum home. If the AI provider isn't set up yet either, a short two-step checklist shows what to do first.
  • Settings → Forum access lists every forum you allowed, with Remove access. Your saved summaries and answers are kept.

Upgrading from 2.0

Forums you used with 2.0 need one click on Allow access the next time you open them.

Changed

  • New activeTab and scripting permissions let the side panel check a page for Discourse after you click the toolbar icon, and run the in-page button only on allowed forums.
  • Background work checks forum access and explains how to allow it; Ask the forum waits for access and continues once it's granted.

Install

  • Chrome Web Store (recommended): Add DiscourseCopilot to Chrome. Store updates appear only after Google's review, which can take from a few hours to several days.
  • From this release: download the zip below, unzip it, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode and click Load unpacked. Disable the store copy first if you have it, so the two don't conflict.
