Browser Extension — AI Image Detector

Install & Use

1. Install the extension: Download the extension from the store or load it as an unpacked extension during development.
2. Open any webpage with an image you want to analyze.
3. Activate the extension from the toolbar and choose "Capture region" or use the context menu on images.
4. Capture a rectangle over the image or background you want to inspect. The extension will attempt to detect the original resource URL and include it with the capture.
5. View results: The detection panel will appear in the page showing confidence, breakdowns, and a detailed result card.

Developer / Self-hosting Notes

If you're running a self-hosted API instance, set the API URL in the extension options to point to your Laravel server. The extension supports both the hosted API and local instances.

Permissions

The extension requires permissions to capture the visible tab and access page content (injected content script) to enable region selection and image detection. No data is sent anywhere unless you initiate an analysis.

Troubleshooting

• If the canvas capture fails on cross-origin images, the extension will fallback to requesting a screenshot from the background and will try to fetch the original image where possible.
• For videos, use the context menu "Capture media" and then select a region on the video player.

Tip: Use the extension on desktop to get the best capture experience; mobile browsers may restrict extension functionality.
