🔍 FAQ

“Does this work on mobile browsers?”

Not yet. Mobile extensions are planned for 2024. Use the web tool at protect.daon.network for mobile protection.

No, DAON protects human-created content. It doesn’t detect or flag AI content.

“What data does the extension collect?”

Only content you choose to protect and basic metadata. No personal browsing data is collected.

“Does it work offline?”

Protection requires internet connection. The extension can queue protections for when you’re back online.

Only protect content you own or have permission to protect. Protecting others’ work without permission violates terms of service.
