HaoMingBao Chrome Extension: AI Baby Naming, right in your browser
Right-click any beautiful character on the web to save it, get a daily line from Chinese poetry, and run a quick Five-Elements lookup —
zero account, zero uploads, storage permission only. Free to install.
Works in Chrome 88+, Edge, Arc, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi — any Chromium-based browser.
Four tabs, everything a naming session needs
The extension is a lightweight entry point. All AI name generation still happens on babynameai.org.
Quick Naming
Enter surname and gender (male / female / any), jump straight to the main site and generate AI names. The extension itself makes no remote calls.
Poetry Daily
100 hand-picked lines from Shijing, Chuci, Tang and Song poetry, rotated daily via a date hash. Tap to read the full piece.
Five Elements Lookup
Enter a birth date and time, get an offline approximate Bazi chart with Five Elements distribution. Full chart links back to the main site.
Cross-site Favorites
Highlight 2–4 Chinese characters on any page, right-click ‘Save to HaoMingBao’, and they land in your local favorites list (FIFO 100 with dedupe).
One-tap Copy
Delete any favorite individually, or copy the whole list in one click. Single-character favorites link directly to our character-Wuxing pages.
Local Share Cards
QR-coded share cards are drawn entirely in the browser canvas — they never leave your device.

Zero data collection · fully auditable
The extension is pure local storage and static jumps. No collection, no uploads, no content scripts.
storage permission only
All favorites and settings live in chrome.storage.local, fully clearable from your device.
No page reads
No host_permissions, no content script. The extension never reads any page you visit.
Zero remote code
No fetch, no XMLHttpRequest, no dynamic imports. Every byte of JS ships inside the package.
AI runs on the main site
Anything that needs an API key happens on babynameai.org — keys never ship in the extension bundle.
Frequently asked
Installation, privacy, and usage.
Is the extension really free?
Yes. Quick Naming, Poetry Daily, Five Elements Lookup, and Favorites are all fully free — no paywall. The main site's AI name generation uses credits; new accounts get a starter grant, and more can be purchased on the pricing page.
Why does the extension only request 'storage' permission?
HaoMingBao follows the principle of least privilege. It declares only storage (for favorites and settings) and contextMenus (for right-click saving) — no host_permissions, no content scripts, and no page reads. We collect and upload zero user data.
How does the extension relate to babynameai.org?
The extension is a lightweight browser entry point. All AI-powered generation runs on babynameai.org — API keys never ship in a reverse-engineerable extension bundle. Think of the extension as ‘shortcut + local favorites + daily inspiration’, and the main site as the naming studio.
Which browsers are supported?
Built on Chrome Manifest V3, the extension works in every Chromium-based browser: Google Chrome 88+, Microsoft Edge, Arc, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and others. Safari and Firefox are not supported yet.
Where are favorites stored? Can I lose them?
Favorites live in chrome.storage.local inside your Chrome profile on the current device. If Chrome Sync is on, they follow your Google account across devices (that's a Chrome capability, not our server). Uninstalling the extension clears the data, so if you're switching machines, hit ‘Copy All’ first to export.
How are updates delivered?
Chrome pulls updates from the Web Store automatically. You can also check manually at chrome://extensions. Release notes are published at /updates on the main site.
