Global Extension Settings for BrainGPT Chrome Extension
Simon Griffith
Our organization uses Active Directory Single Sign-On (SSO) to access ClickUp, with a 24-hour SSO session timeout. This causes the BrainGPT Chrome extension to log out every day. When this happens, we encounter two major usability issues:
Home Tab Override Resets
After each daily logout, the "Brain Home Tab" toggle in the extension resets to ON by default. This means every 24 hours, our Chrome new tab page is automatically set back to the BrainGPT welcome page, even if we previously disabled this feature.
Repeated Welcome Tour
Each time we log back into the BrainGPT extension (every 24 hours), we are forced to go through the first-time "welcome tour" screens before accessing the tool, as if it were a fresh install.
Request
Please implement a settings panel accessible from the extension’s login screen (i.e., before authentication), allowing users to:
- Permanently disable the welcome tour, so it does not appear after each logout/login cycle.
- Control the "Home Tab Override" feature (enable/disable) without requiring login.
These should be treated as global extension settings, independent of user authentication status, so that SSO session expirations do not reset user preferences.
Rationale
For organizations using SSO with regular session expirations, these changes would greatly improve user experience by preventing unwanted homepage overrides and repetitive onboarding flows. This aligns with best practices for Chrome extensions, where global settings should persist across logins and not be tied to session-based authentication.
