ConnectGenie — FAQ
Is ConnectGenie - Linkedin AI Assistant safe to use on LinkedIn?
Our static code audit rates ConnectGenie - Linkedin AI Assistant MEDIUM risk. It works through your own logged-in browser session — your cookie stays on your machine and only scraped results are uploaded — which is safer than cloud tools that take your session. It is still a Chrome extension LinkedIn can detect, and its ID is on LinkedIn's detection list.
Does LinkedIn detect ConnectGenie - Linkedin AI Assistant?
Yes. ConnectGenie - Linkedin AI Assistant's extension ID is on LinkedIn's active extension-detection (AED) list, so LinkedIn's page code probes for it on every visit (it requests the file icons/plus-icon.png) — LinkedIn knows the extension is installed before you do anything.
Can ConnectGenie - Linkedin AI Assistant get my LinkedIn account banned or restricted?
Detection isn't an instant ban — LinkedIn scores accounts on many cumulative signals. But ConnectGenie - Linkedin AI Assistant stacks a known extension ID on LinkedIn's list, code injected into the page, programmatic (isTrusted:false) clicks, and independent reviews report restrictions and permanent bans for Chrome-extension automators. Safe daily limits reduce the behavioral risk but can't offset a detectable architecture.
Does ConnectGenie - Linkedin AI Assistant have access to my LinkedIn account?
It reads LinkedIn data through your own browser session (the Voyager API) and uploads only the results — your session token itself stays on your machine.
How does ConnectGenie - Linkedin AI Assistant work — is it a Chrome extension or a cloud tool?
ConnectGenie - Linkedin AI Assistant is a extension (DOM-scrape AI assistant, no session access) that runs inside your own Chrome browser.
What is a safer alternative to ConnectGenie - Linkedin AI Assistant?
A standalone desktop app such as Linked Helper removes the two extension-specific detection surfaces: there is no Chrome-Store ID for LinkedIn's AED scanner to probe and nothing injected into the page for its DOM scan, and your session never leaves your machine. No tool is unbannable, but the surface it exposes is far smaller.
