Frequently Asked Questions
What is browser DLP?
Browser DLP (Data Loss Prevention) protects sensitive data directly in the browser without requiring agent installation on endpoints. It detects and prevents data leaks as users interact with web applications, AI chatbots, and online forms.
How is this different from enterprise DLP?
Traditional enterprise DLP requires agent installation on every device, complex policy configuration, and IT deployment. Browser DLP via Chrome Extension works instantly — install and start protecting data in minutes, not months.
Which browsers are supported?
The Chrome Extension works in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers. Both use the same Chromium engine, so the extension is fully compatible with both.
Does the extension see all my browsing?
No. The extension only activates on supported AI chat sites (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Abacus.ai). It does not monitor other websites or send any data to our servers without your explicit action.
What file formats can be anonymized?
The extension supports .txt, .md, .csv, .json, .xml, .yaml, and .log files up to 50KB. For larger files or document formats like .docx, use the Desktop App or Office Add-in.
