  "works": "I downloaded the CRX (v1.0.1, MV3) from the Chrome Web Store update URL, unpacked it, and loaded it unpacked in Chrome for Testing 155 (headed on DISPLAY :7, fresh profile, no Google sign-in). Composer window (ui/extension.html) has a 15-chat 'Send to' list: ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, DeepSeek, Gemini, GigaChat, Grok, HuggingChat, Kimi, Manus, Mistral, Perplexity, Poe, Qwen, Yandex. I typed 'What is 2+2?', ticked ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, HuggingChat and Claude, and clicked '\u25b6 Send to 5 chats'. Within ~45 s it opened a tab per chat, put the prompt in and submitted it. ChatGPT (logged out) answered '2 + 2 = 4' and Gemini (signed out) answered '2 + 2 equals 4'. Grok received the prompt and showed it as a user message. Per-chat status chips are honest: green \u2713 ChatGPT and Gemini, red \u2717 Claude (login page), orange \u2713 (uncertain) Grok and HuggingChat. Saving a template with a unicode title ('tb3 template \ud83e\uddea unicode') worked: it showed under Recent templates \u2192 Today. A 12,000-char prompt is accepted, shown as 12% of the field. Source review: data leaves only for the chat sites you pick, plus the extension's own GitHub Pages site. It fetches https://yesgenius.github.io/use-multiple-chat-ai-at-once/vendors-config.json (remote selector config, currently 'vendors': []). Welcome/rate-us/uninstall lifecycle pages on that site carry client_id, installed_at, version and rating in the URL, as the listing's privacy section discloses. No analytics SDK, sendBeacon or WebSocket. The main-world scripts wrap the chat page's fetch/XHR only to detect send success. The 'analytics' hook is a logging stub.",
  "breaks": "Signed out, most targets can't produce an answer. Login wall before or on send: Claude (redirects to claude.ai/login), Copilot (login.microsoftonline.com), DeepSeek (/sign_in), Manus (/login), Mistral (v2.auth.mistral.ai/login), Poe (/login), GigaChat (redirects to id.sber.ru), HuggingChat (page loads but sending redirects to huggingface.co/login). Grok accepted the prompt but showed 'Sign up to continue seamlessly with Grok' instead of an answer. Qwen gave net::ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED from this box. Kimi, Perplexity and Yandex show an input box signed out but were not tried through the extension. Permissions are broad: <all_urls> host access plus a content script injected into every page (on-page launcher button), and tabs, windows, scripting, webNavigation, tabGroups, system.display, contextMenus, clipboardWrite, optional clipboardRead. The listing explains these ('All sites: chats, the on-page button, the page menu and reading pages you attach'). No warning when a prompt exceeds a vendor's built-in limit (ChatGPT maxTextSize 9,999 in the source; a 12,000-char prompt showed no warning), though behaviour on send is unverified. The service worker also has an onMessageExternal handler accepting send-prompt messages from http://localhost:8000/, likely a dev leftover; without externally_connectable in the manifest, web pages can't reach it. Test artefact, not a store bug: unpacked installs open the welcome page at http://127.0.0.1:8000/hosted/ because the code deliberately swaps to a dev host for installType 'development'.",

Loaded unpacked in Chrome for Testing 155.0.8059.84 (downloaded to a scratch dir; branded Chrome 155 ignores --load-extension) via playwright-core launchPersistentContext, headed on DISPLAY :7 with a fresh profile and no sign-in anywhere. First visited all 15 target newChatUrls signed-out to see which allow chat. Then drove the extension's own Composer page: typed the prompt, ticked 5 chats via the send-to checkboxes, clicked Send, and read each opened tab's text and status chips. Edge cases: unicode template save, 12,000-char prompt (not sent). Only the harmless prompt 'What is 2+2?' was sent; no accounts, no credentials.",
