User-facing changes to the Maxoptify extension · Latest: v2.2.56 (2026-11-10)
The Privacy Policy (§10) and Terms of Service (§14) announce changes on this page.
v2.2.56 — 2026-11-10
Spanish for Spain
- Chrome set to Spanish (Spain) now shows Maxoptify in Spanish. Until now only Latin American Spanish was recognized, so it fell back to English.
v2.2.55 — 2026-11-07
Japanese, and small display fixes
- Maxoptify is now available in Japanese. It follows your Chrome language; like German, French, Spanish and Portuguese, it has not yet been reviewed by a native speaker.
- In the dashboard, the small tags in front of extra advice (Session, Weekly (all), Extra Usage) now appear in your language. They were shown in Korean for everyone.
- Right after installation, empty progress bars no longer appear on cards that have no data yet, so the popup no longer overflows.
- When Muse usage cannot be read, the dashboard now shows a more specific reason.
- Terms of Service §3 (2026-11-08) now describe optional tips: they unlock nothing, and you can ask for a full refund within 30 days.
v2.2.54 — 2026-11-05
A clearer first-run screen
- The first-run screen has a new design that matches maxoptify.com, in light and dark mode. What Maxoptify never does is now the most prominent part of the page.
- The wording, the consent step and what is collected are unchanged.
v2.2.53 — 2026-11-05
Agree again to the updated Privacy Policy
- The Privacy Policy and Terms of Service were updated on 2026-11-05.
- After this update, Maxoptify stops collecting and opens the first-run screen again. Collection resumes only after you agree to the updated policy.
- Until you agree, the toolbar popup shows a one-line notice. Click it to open the first-run screen.
Claude: reminders before a credit expires
- If your Claude account has a time-limited credit (for example a cloud session credit), the Claude tab of the popup shows its remaining amount and expiry time.
- You get a notification 3 days and again 1 day before it expires. Only the credit's identifier, amounts and expiry time are stored.
Muse (muse.ai)
- Usage percentage, plan and reset date are read more reliably.
- Paid plans (Power) are now recognized even when muse.ai shows the plan name in your language.
- The plan line from the Muse settings window is no longer stored. Only the plan that was recognized is kept.
How collection works, stated plainly
- The first-run screen and the Privacy Policy now say when and how usage is read: as often as once a minute while you are using a service, and less often otherwise, never more than 30 minutes apart. If no tab for a service is open, Maxoptify briefly opens one in the background and closes it after reading.
- They also say that page text is scanned in memory only to find usage values, and is neither stored nor sent anywhere.
- Watching ChatGPT and Grok pages for limit notices starts only after you agree.
Less personal data stored on your device
- Conversation titles, button and link text, and limit-notice text are no longer stored.
- Page addresses are stored only up to the first path segment, so conversation IDs are not kept.
- On Claude, the text of usage cards is no longer stored. Only the values found in it are kept.
- Data stored by earlier versions is cleaned up once, automatically, when this update installs. Your usage history is kept.
- [Delete all data] now also removes your consent record.
Fixes
- Dollar amounts (for example extra usage and credits) were shown as "$1" in some languages. They now show the real amount.
- Collection fixes for Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT and Grok, including plan detection and reset times.
Other
- The extension is available in German, Portuguese (Brazil), French and Spanish (Latin America), in addition to English and Korean.
- Chrome 116 or later is required.
- The popup has a small “Buy us a coffee” link that opens an external Stripe checkout page. The extension sends no data when you use it.
