Terms of Use
Last updated 28 August 2026
The short version. ChromeBoost is a free tool that does what you tell it to do in your own browser. You choose the sites, you give the instructions, and you are responsible for the result. It comes with no warranty of any kind, and the people who wrote it are not liable for what you do with it.
The part most people miss is section 4: many sites prohibit automated access in their own terms. Those are agreements between you and them. ChromeBoost is not a party to any of them, and using this tool does not give you permission you did not already have.
1. Accepting these terms
By installing or using the ChromeBoost extension or the ChromeBoost MCP server, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not install or use it. In this document, "ChromeBoost" means the extension and the MCP server together, and "we" means the maintainers who publish them.
ChromeBoost is also released under the MIT licence, which is included in the source repository. Where these terms and the MIT licence overlap on warranty and liability, both say the same thing: the software is provided as is.
2. What ChromeBoost is
ChromeBoost is a tool that lets an AI coding assistant running on your own computer operate your own Chrome browser. It performs the browser actions your assistant asks for: opening pages, reading page content, clicking, typing, hovering and dragging.
It is not a service. There is no ChromeBoost server, no account, and nothing running on our infrastructure. Everything happens on your machine, between your browser and software you installed.
3. You are responsible for what it does
ChromeBoost has no independent judgement and no purpose of its own. It acts because you, or an assistant you are running and supervising, told it to. That makes the following your responsibility, entirely:
- The instructions you give. You decide which sites it visits, what it reads, what it fills in, and what it submits.
- Authorisation. You may only use ChromeBoost on accounts, systems and data you are authorised to access. Using it against someone else's account or a system you have no right to use is your act, not ours.
- Compliance with law. Including laws on computer access, data protection, privacy, intellectual property and consumer protection in every jurisdiction that applies to you.
- Reviewing the outcome. Automated actions can be wrong. Anything consequential is yours to check.
ChromeBoost is designed to pause and hand control back for actions that publish, pay or authenticate. That is a convenience and a design preference, not a safety guarantee. Do not rely on it to prevent an action you did not want, and do not treat it as a substitute for supervising what you have asked for.
4. Third-party sites and their terms
Most websites have their own terms of service, and many of them restrict or prohibit automated access, scraping, or the use of tools like this one. Those terms are an agreement between you and that website. We are not a party to them.
It is your responsibility to know what the sites you use ChromeBoost on permit, and to stay within it. ChromeBoost being technically capable of an action does not mean you are permitted to take it, and nothing in this tool or its documentation should be read as advice that any particular use is allowed.
5. Acceptable use
You must not use ChromeBoost to:
- Access any account, system, network or data without authorisation.
- Circumvent authentication, access controls, paywalls or licensing restrictions.
- Collect personal data about other people without a lawful basis for doing so.
- Send spam, run fraud, manipulate ratings or votes, create fake engagement, or impersonate anyone.
- Interfere with the normal operation of a site, including by generating load a reasonable operator would consider abusive.
- Do anything unlawful, or anything that infringes another person's rights.
We do not monitor how you use ChromeBoost and are not able to. This section states what the tool is for; enforcing it is not something we can do on your behalf.
6. Your AI assistant is a separate service
ChromeBoost passes page content to whichever AI coding assistant you are running, and that assistant normally sends what it receives to its own provider. Your relationship with that provider, and their handling of that content, is governed by their terms and their privacy policy, not ours. This is explained in more detail in the privacy policy.
7. No warranty
ChromeBoost is provided as is and as available, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that it will work on any given site, that it will keep working, that it will be free of defects, or that it will produce correct results. Browsers change, sites change, and automation breaks.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or connected with your use of ChromeBoost, even if we have been advised that such loss was possible.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or connected with ChromeBoost is limited to the amount you paid for it, which is zero.
What this section does not do. Nothing here excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. If you are using ChromeBoost as a consumer, you keep every statutory right your local law gives you, and nothing in these terms affects those rights.
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the maintainers of ChromeBoost from any claim, demand, loss, liability or expense, including reasonable legal fees, brought by a third party and arising out of your use of ChromeBoost, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or of any third party's rights.
10. No support or availability commitment
ChromeBoost is free and maintained on a best-effort basis. There is no service level, no guaranteed response to issues, and no commitment that any version will continue to be published or to function. We may change, restrict or discontinue it at any time. Because it is MIT licensed, you always have the option of using or forking the source you already have.
11. Changes to these terms
If these terms change, the date at the top will change, and the revision is visible in the public commit history. Continuing to use ChromeBoost after a change means you accept the revised terms. Since there are no accounts, the git history is the record.
