It acts only when you click an action, it shows you exactly what will be sent before it sends anything, and it never publishes on your behalf. ## Installing and connecting Getting the extension into your browser and pointing it at the right workspace. * **TheContentForge extension for Chrome and Brave** - The extension installs from the Chrome Web Store through a link in your account, and works in Chrome and Brave. Microsoft Edge and Firefox are not supported yet. * **Connect this browser** - Connecting opens a consent screen in TheContentForge where you choose which workspace the browser should work in and see what access it gets. Connecting is a one-time approval you can withdraw at any time, and the extension never gains access to your signed-in website session. * **Active connections** - Your account settings list every browser currently authorised to use your account, with the browser type, the extension version, when it was connected, and when it was last active. Disconnecting one takes effect immediately and that browser has to be connected again before it can do anything. You can also disconnect from the extension's own toolbar menu. * **Workspace picker** - The toolbar menu and the side panel both show which workspace you are working in and let you switch. Switching changes the available tools, because content workspaces and Investor Intel workspaces get different sets of actions. ## Toolbar quick actions What the extension icon offers for whichever page you are on. * **Quick actions menu** - Clicking the extension icon gives you a short list of actions for the page you are on. Content workspaces see reply options, capture page, quick post, and save to knowledge. Investor Intel workspaces see save research and register signal source instead, anything the current page cannot support is greyed out, and picking an action opens the side panel with the page already read in. * **Work in progress indicator** - The extension icon carries a count of operations still running and the menu summarises recent activity, so you can tell at a glance whether something you started has finished. ## Side panel tools The side panel opens beside the page you are reading and keeps its own working area, so results survive closing the popup, switching tabs, and restarting the browser. Several of these tools depend on which workspace you are in, and the panel says plainly when one is not active for your workspace. * **Replies** - Turns selected post text, or a link to an X post, into several ready reply options in the confident, helpful, curious, or witty tone you pick. The options are yours to copy, nothing is posted automatically. * **Brand Voice Rewrite** - Rewrites selected or pasted text in your workspace brand voice for X, Instagram, or Facebook, keeping the original meaning while matching the tone and goal you pick. You also choose whether to run the faster or the stronger generation. Enabled per workspace. * **Capture** - Reads the page you are on, shows you the exact title, address, and selected passage that will be sent, lets you add a note, and files it in Content Forge. Nothing leaves the browser until you approve that preview. * **Save to Knowledge** - Files the page and the passage you selected into your workspace knowledge base as a cited source, so later drafts and answers can draw on it. Enabled per workspace, and available to editors and above. * **Draft** - Turns a topic or a block of source text into a full draft in Content Forge without leaving the page. You choose whether it is written as a normal post or as breaking news, plus platform, tone, and whether you want the faster or the stronger generation. The finished draft is waiting for you in Content Forge. * **Save research** - For Investor Intel workspaces, keeps a page, the evidence you highlighted, your note, and up to ten tags together in one research record. Enabled per workspace, and available to editors and above. * **Sources** - For Investor Intel workspaces, registers a public page as a source to watch, with an optional name, reason, and label. Public pages are tidied up and duplicates are merged, and private or gated pages are set aside rather than registered. Enabled per workspace, and available to editors and above. * **Activity** - A running list of everything you have started from the browser, with status, plain English errors, copyable results with character counts, and a link to open the finished work in Content Forge. It keeps working across browser restarts, and it tells you when something you started is taking longer than usual. ## Right-click menu The same actions again, reached without opening the popup first. * **Right-click actions** - Selecting text or right-clicking a page offers the same set of actions without opening the popup first: reply options, rewrite selection, capture page, save to knowledge base, save Intel research, and register an Intel signal source. Choosing one opens the side panel with your selection or the page already loaded. Every action is always listed, and one that does not suit the workspace you are in says so instead of running. ## Inline actions on X Controls the extension can add directly to posts on X, once you turn them on. * **Inline Forge actions on X** - A small Forge button appears on each post on X, opening a short menu to generate reply options or send the post into your workspace. It only appears after two things are true: the capability is available for your workspace, and you grant the extension access to X from the toolbar menu. Turning it off removes both the buttons and the site access, and the extension never types in the composer and never posts. ## Safety behaviour What the extension refuses to read, and what it shows you before anything is sent. * **Page safety rules** - The extension refuses to read insecure pages and skips sensitive ones such as email, banking, health records, password managers, and sign-in pages. It also refuses to read browser store pages. For anything it can read, it shows the exact content that will be sent before you approve it. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://thecontentforge.gitbook.io/thecontentforge-docs/feature-glossary/glossary/browser-extension.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
