FAQ

Frequently asked questions about My AI Curator.

Does my data really stay in my browser?
Yes. All data is stored in chrome.storage.local only — it never leaves your device. The source code is fully open source so anyone can verify this.
Will ad blocking break any websites?
Most sites actually load faster without ads. If a site looks broken, toggle Ad Tracker Blocking OFF temporarily in Settings.
Will Cookie Minimizer log me out?
No. Login cookies (SAPISID, NetflixId, sp_dc, etc.) are always protected. Only tracking cookies (_ga, _fbp, IDE, etc.) are deleted.
Does adding a sensitive keyword affect my searches?
No — you can still search for anything. The keyword just won't be saved to your browser storage.
Can I recover deleted data?
No. Use Settings → Export to back up before deleting.
What happens if I uninstall the extension?
All collected data is deleted. Export your data first if you need it.
Does it work on Firefox?
A Firefox-compatible version is included in the GitHub source. The Chrome Web Store version is Chrome only.
