How can I disable the Chrome extension on specific websites?

Our Chrome extension gives you the flexibility to access our reports and features from any compatible website, but we understand that you may not always want to use ProWritingAid with specific websites.

Below you’ll find the steps to disable ProWritingAid temporarily or permanently on specific websites, as well as how to disable ProWritingAid in all websites by default.

To temporarily disable ProWritingAid on a specific website:

You can also click on the ‘Settings’ icon in the ProWritingAid Menu icon, and then click ‘Disable until next visit’. The Chrome extension will stop showing you suggestions until the next time you visit the website.
