Uninstalling. It could potentially be great, but it's simplifying too much. Basically it's trying to ELI5 everything, even deep, scientific concepts. Try harder.

Not sure if I'm using this incorrectly, but what I get back is a prompt that i can copy and paste in a chatGPT conversation, which is not at all useful to me...so i'm thinking that maybe there is an issue with the config of my version of this plugin??

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

ChatGPT Explain requires very minimum permissions.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
