| Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 The extension offers good features for exporting ChatGPT information, which should be sufficient for most user requirements. The ability to export to multiple formats is particularly valuable. The test showed that the formatting and layout work well and are better than the possible outputs from ChatGPTs themselves. It also helps that you can select many settings for the PDF layout beforehand.  Another useful feature is selecting whether only questions, answers, or both are output.  Winner in this category | 8.5 Nowadays, websites request data through third parties. The local CDN emulation offered by Decentraleyes is a unique and effective feature that blocker competitors currently lack. This means that the same locally stored data is always sent directly to the websites before they can even request relevant private data. 
Another advantage of the extension is that the code is completely open source and can be found on GitLab. This ensures transparency and trust. |
| Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 9.7 The extension worked reliably and without any problems during the test. The export processes are fast and efficient, and we didn't have to wait long for the export, even during longer conversations. We did not notice any crashes or significant bugs during the test. Winner in this category | 9.3 The extension offers a noticeable improvement in page load times. We did not find any problems in our tests, but according to user reviews, there are occasional compatibility problems with certain websites. However, according to Decentraleyes, these are constantly being fixed by updates. |
| Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 The user interface is clear and intuitive. The export button is perfectly integrated into the ChatGPT environment, so it seems like it belongs there. However, the general design could be freshened up a bit. Winner in this category | 9.5 The design is intuitive and simple. This also includes the settings menu. Winner in this category |
| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 The free version includes all functions; only a premium banner, which appears on PDFs in the footer, must be accepted.  As this is relatively unobtrusive, it should not be a problem for regular private users. For private users who only want to output PDFs occasionally (up to 3 times a day), the free version offers excellent value for money. If you want to continue using the files for business purposes, for example, and want to make the banner disappear, or simply want to export a higher number of PDFs per day, the prices of $1.99 for 30 PDFs per day or $2.99 for 100 PDFs per day are perfectly fine. Winner in this category | 9.5 The extension is completely free to use with optional donations. The price-performance ratio is therefore perfect, as functions that are not offered by other providers are made available here free of charge. Only the lack of further functions in the area of ad blocking results in deductions. Winner in this category |
| Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 Installation is straightforward, and the tool requires minimal setup. Once installed, an export button appears, which is fairly self-explanatory. The export process is as simple as clicking a button, and the various format options are displayed. The tutorial at the beginning also helps new users to understand all the functions in just a few seconds. | 9.9 The extension is characterized by its user-friendliness. Installation is very simple and you have the option of testing the function immediately on the website. When you open the website https://decentraleyes.org/test/, you are shown whether the function works and an example of what it looks like in the icon when data is blocked.  The settings are also very well described so that even beginners should have no problems here. Advanced users can also read the complete documentation or the code on GitLab.  Winner in this category |
| Security & Privacy Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each extension. | 9.3 The extension only accesses ChatGPT conversations and does not collect unnecessary data outside. Export files are then processed locally, ensuring data privacy. The tool has a clear privacy policy and does not require excessive permissions to be agreed to. Winner in this category | 9.2 The extension offers strong features in the area of data protection, so it goes without saying that it scores well in this area. The open-source code allows anyone to review the extension in detail. Only the lack of a proper privacy policy detracts from this for beginners, who can do little with the code. There is a privacy policy that states in one sentence that no data is collected. However, this should be a little more detailed. |
| Conclusion A summary of our findings and final thoughts for each extension. | After extensive testing, we can recommend ChatGPT Exporter to anyone who uses ChatGPT regularly. The tool fills a crucial gap that was often laboriously filled by copying and pasting and makes it easy to preserve and share your conversations. | Decentraleyes is a valuable tool for anyone who wants more privacy and faster browsing. With local CDN emulation, Decentraleyes has features that bring both security and performance benefits. While it currently excels in this one area, you need to be aware that websites also make adjustments and it won't always work 100% of the time, especially without further updates. |
