Looking at your extension's contentScript.js, some questions come to mind:

1. Do you really send all the user's ChatGPT conversations to your `token_emissions` AWS endpoint?

2. Why not run the carbon emission's calculations on the user device? How do you even compute these?

3. How does all this this match your extensions' privacy description ("We value your privacy. It calculates the carbon footprint without storing or analyzing the content of your queries.")?

4. Why do you write "It considers factors such as [...] model type", which it clearly does not?

Also, your extension's description is 100% AI-written, so please blink twice if this is not a scam.
