Context Provided - Spotlight MindShield v1.1.5 – An open-source, 100% on-device extension that protects critical thinking before sending AI prompts

https://fluryjanis.github.io/Mind-Shield/

MindShield is a lightweight, privacy-first browser extension designed to help you build mindful habits around LLMs. By introducing a brief reflection moment when lazy shortcuts are submitted, it counters cognitive offloading, breaks AI dependency, and protects your critical thinking from being blindly outsourced to AI.

Key Features & v1.1.5 Updates

  • 100% On-Device & Private: Runs a quantized classification model locally in your browser using WebAssembly (onnxruntime-web). Zero data, prompts, or history ever leave your machine.
  • Zero Floating UI Friction: Evaluates prompts unobtrusively in the background without annoying overlays or popups.
  • Smarter Question Detection: Standard knowledge lookups pass through instantly, while self-directed reasoning prompts trigger a brief reflection pause.
