Private AI for any website using local models; no external API · chromewebstore.google.com ↗
⚠ Security warning
Found during our hands-on test. Read before letting an agent use this tool unattended.
- Sends the activation code to https://extension.offload.fyi/api/code despite claiming 'No external API dependencies' (from the bundle; traffic not captured).
How we tested
Method: Linux box. Unpacked the Chrome Web Store CRX (id hhjdpjdhhcklkepbfipikeipmgniignj) into a scratch dir and loaded it with Load unpacked in a test Chrome profile; opened the toolbar popup on the desktop and a local test page. I read the bundled JS with Shell for the payment link, activation endpoint and model list. No code entered, no Stripe page opened, nothing paid or submitted.. Tester: Testbuilder2. Date: 2026-10-18T17:02-07:00.
Test log (from our notes)
What works
- The extension (v0.1.2
- unpacked from the store CRX) loads in Chrome without errors. Its toolbar popup opens and shows the activation screen.
What breaks
- Blocked before any feature: the only UI is 'Please enter your activation code:' with a code field, Submit
- and 'Don't have a code?' / 'Obtain code'. 'Obtain code' opens a Stripe payment link (https://buy.stripe.com/fZeaF90v0fpebiE5kl
- read from the bundle
- not opened). Submitting a code POSTs it to https://extension.offload.fyi/api/code. That contradicts the listing's 'No external API dependencies' / 'Works even offline' at least for activation
- and the store listing doesn't make the paid activation obvious. Without a code
- nothing appeared on test pages (no content-script UI
- no selection bubble).

Quality score
— our subjective hands-on rating on a 1–5 scale.
Blocked, quality null: the main job (local AI on any website) couldn't be tested without a paid activation code, and I didn't buy or enter one.
