Overview

When you export a Gemini conversation to PDF using this extension, you may see a notification in your browser that says:

"Gemini to PDF - Batch Export started debugging this browser"

This is completely normal and expected behavior. Here's why it happens and what it means.

Why This Happens

Chrome's PDF Generation Method

This extension uses Chrome's built-in PDF generation capabilities through the Chrome DevTools Protocol. This is the same technology that powers Chrome's "Print to PDF" feature.

The Debugger Permission

To access Chrome's PDF generation API, the extension needs the debugger permission. This permission allows the extension to:

• Connect to Chrome's internal PDF generation system
• Convert web content to PDF format
• Access the same high-quality PDF output that Chrome provides

What the Notification Means

It's Not Actually "Debugging"

Despite the name, the extension is not debugging your browser in the traditional sense. It's simply:

• Using Chrome's official PDF generation API
• Creating a temporary connection to generate your PDF
• Automatically closing the connection when done
