FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
🟩 How does Sidechat work?
The extension has 3 tabs, a "Home" tab for everyone on the extension currently browsing the same page as you, a "Chats" tab for everyone you have previously chatted with, and then a "Profile" tab for you to edit your profile and control your privacy settings.
🟩 How do I change my profile photo?
To change your profile photo, you simply click on the 'Choose File' button and it will launch your local directory folder. There you can select the photo you want to make as your profile photo and then click the 'Upload Photo' button. That's all.
🟩 I just logged in and my Chats or Profile screen is empty
This is a known bug we are working on. Simply reload/refresh the popup window and you will be able to see your Profile screen and any Chats screen information.
🟩 What information do you store?
We store the URL you are on when you send a message so we can identify other users to connect you with, based on the domain and webpage. We also store your chat history in order to present it to you in a threaded conversation dialogue on the "Chats" screen. Other than that, we have no idea what you’re doing unless you decide to use the extension. You can read our Privacy Policy below or contact us at [email protected] to learn more.
🟩 Is there anywhere that we can report bugs or give recommendations?
YES! Please report bugs to [email protected] and we will get back to you within 24 hours. If you have any feedback, thoughts, suggestions or anything else, please feel free to email me us at [email protected] and we will get back to you within 24 hours.
🟩 Are there any websites where you recommend testing it out?
YES! www.google.com is our most active site fr obvious reasons. You can also try www.youtube.com and www.amazon.com.
🟩 Does Sidechat work on every website?
YES! Sidechat works on every website and webpage you can visit from your browser! Sidechat is still new and so you might not find someone on every site, but if you invite your friends, you can both try it out on any site.
🟩 How do you deal with spam?
This is a potential issue that we have been thinking about from the start. Fortunately, we do not yet have that problem. However, we intentionally made all chats 1-to-1 in order to reduce the propensity for spamming. In future updates, we will add a Block/Delete button that will allow users to simply temporarily block another user that has messaged them, or delete them permanently from their chats.
🟩 Is there a Firefox version?
Not yet but we are working on it.

************************
UPDATES - 04/05/22
************************
This update requires you re-register your account due to a needed database reconfiguration.
⭐️ Feature request: Message timestamp should be represented as how long ago it was sent.
✔️Resolution: Changed message timestamp from machine UTC to "how long ago it was sent".
⭐️Feature request: Age and gender should be optional.
✔️Resolution: Age already had the option to switch between public and private. Changed gender from default public to switchable between public and private.
⭐️Some minor bug fixes.
************************
UPDATES - 04/13/22
************************
⭐️Feature request: It's going to get annoying in a hurry the way that the extension pops up to let you know that no one is on the site when you have unread messages. I'd personally make it so it only pops up when users are on the site.
✔️Resolution: The popup was previously activated if only one of two conditions were met namely:
1.) If there is another person found browsing the same page as you,
2.) If you have an unread message in the 'Chats' tab.
Stopped using the popup window as an alert for unread messages and instead added a notification alert badge on the Sidechat icon in the browser header.
⭐️Feature request: It's not very clear how you change the profile photo.
✔️Resolution: Moved photo upload settings to the top of the Profile page and added a large 'Upload Photo' button.
⭐️Some minor bug fixes.
We are always working to improve Sidechat and give you a 5 STAR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ EXPERIENCE!! We would really appreciate a review if you have a minute or two. Основная информация о расширении
