ViewPilot — AI browser sidebar powered by GitHub Copilot

Features & Capabilities

I built ViewPilot because I kept forgetting to use GitHub Copilot. It just wasn't in my flow. So I made a sidebar that's always there — no tab switching, no breaking focus.

Now, whenever I'm studying something or a question pops up, I just ask. It made Copilot actually useful for everyday browsing, not just coding.

✨ Features: • AI sidebar powered by GitHub Copilot — always one click away • 20+ models: GPT-5.4, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and more • Reads your current page for context-aware answers • Web search integration (built-in free search, or bring your own search API key) • Screenshot capture — single view or full-page scroll • File attachments, chat history, math rendering (LaTeX) • Font size control for accessibility • Multi-language: English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish

📋 Requirements: • A GitHub Copilot subscription (Pro, Business, or Enterprise)

🔒 Privacy: • No data collection — ViewPilot does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data • All AI communication goes directly between your browser and the GitHub Copilot API • Web search only sends search queries — no personal data transmitted • No analytics, no tracking

Is ViewPilot 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.

ViewPilot requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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.

ViewPilot is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
