Features & Capabilities

In the vanilla Perplexity UI, you can only switch AI model before asking a question by navigating to settings, switching the model, then navigating back to the search page. This extension eliminates the extra steps by adding model selector dropdowns directly next to any search bar in the site (where model selection has an effect). This includes:

Main search page: Response and image generation model selectors
Existing thread response page: Image generation model selector only. The response model selector wouldn't have an effect here.
"New Thread" modal: Both response and image generation model selectors

Is Perplexity Model Selector Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Perplexity Model Selector requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Perplexity Model Selector may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
