The Chrome extension

Lightweight pulses, without breaking flow.

The GAiGE Chrome extension delivers short, randomised pulses to your team. A balanced view of AI impact across browser apps, desktop tools, IDEs, and workplace suites. Around 30 seconds to answer, skippable any time, zero friction.

Add to Chrome Or deploy across a fleet

Free. Works with any Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera).

Three steps. About fifteen seconds.

No training. No 20-minute setup calls. Install once, answer occasional pulses, watch the signal stack up.

Install.

One click from the Chrome Web Store. Pinned to your toolbar. Takes under 15 seconds.

Sign in.

One sign-in with your work account. The extension only knows who you are, never what you're browsing.

Receive randomised pulses.

A small popup appears in your browser at randomised times. Around 30 seconds to answer. Skip if it's a bad moment.

You'll need an invite from your workspace admin before the extension can do anything. No invite yet? Ask your manager, or start a trial.

Privacy-first

What the extension sees, and what it doesn't.

Designed to measure organisational AI impact, not monitor individuals.

About the Chrome permission warning

Chrome will say The GAiGE can "read and change all your data on all websites." That wording is the same for every browser extension with broad access. Chrome doesn't let us say "write only."

What we actually do with that access: inject the 30-second pulse popup into pages (write only, in an isolated shadow DOM). What we don't do: read page content, scrape what you've typed, watch your browsing, or log anything beyond which AI tool you used.

As of v1.1 we ask for this permission after install, not before. So your team sees a much tamer warning on the Chrome Web Store and a second prompt in context when it's clear what it's for.

What it does see.

  • Your GAiGE account identity (name, email).
  • The AI tools your admin has configured (to know which pulse to show).
  • Your pulse responses, the answers to the short surveys.
  • The extension's own version number (for support).

What it never sees.

  • Your browsing history or URLs visited.
  • Page contents, form inputs, or screenshots.
  • Keystrokes or mouse movements.
  • Anything you type into AI tools. We never read conversations.
  • Cookies, passwords, or session tokens from other sites.

Your responses are aggregated before your admin sees them. They see roll-up numbers, never individual answers.

Force-install policy snippets.

Pick the MDM you use.

Google Workspace, easiest path.

  1. Sign in to admin.google.com as a super-admin.
  2. Go to Devices → Chrome → Apps & extensions → Users & browsers.
  3. Pick the organisational unit (OU) or all users.
  4. Click the yellow + button, then Add from Chrome Web Store.
  5. Paste the extension ID: mbhmlmdmgpelgdlpjmcadifeelonkjkb
  6. Set installation policy to Force install.
  7. Save. The extension installs on every managed Chrome within ~24 hours (usually faster).

Users still need to sign in to The GAiGE to receive pulses. The policy ensures the extension is installed and cannot be removed.

What people ask about the extension.

What permissions does the extension request?

The extension requests activeTab, storage, alarms, tabs, and scripting. Host permissions are scoped to api.thegaige.com and thegaige.com. We cannot read any other site. Chrome shows the list on install, and we explain why each is needed on this page.

How often does it show pulses?

It depends on the pulses your workspace admin has activated. Typical default is one short pulse per day, max, with a 'skip this one' option every time. Admins set the cadence; you're never spammed.

Does it slow down my browser?

No. The extension only runs a tiny script when a pulse is triggered. There's no always-on background tracking, no analytics pings per page, no injected scripts interfering with page content.

How do I uninstall?

Right-click the extension icon in your toolbar, then Remove from Chrome. That's it. Nothing left behind locally. If your org has force-installed it via policy, removal is controlled by your IT admin.

Does it work on Firefox or Safari?

Not yet. The extension uses Chrome's Manifest V3 APIs and is published to the Chrome Web Store. Any Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, Vivaldi) is supported.

How does the extension update itself?

Chrome handles auto-updates. We push a new version to the Chrome Web Store; Chrome detects and installs it in the background within hours. No user action needed.

Can I use the extension without a workspace?

No. The extension needs a workspace admin to invite you. It's a B2B tool; there's no consumer account type. Ask your manager to invite you, or start a free trial from the homepage.

Ready when you are.

Free. Chromium browsers only. Around 15 seconds to install.
