Common questions
Does Muse work in Edge, Brave or Opera?
Muse is built and tested for Google Chrome. Other Chromium browsers may install it from the Chrome Web Store, but side-panel support varies.
How do I uninstall Muse?
Right-click the Muse icon → Remove from Chrome, or go to chrome://extensions. If you have Muse Pro, cancel it in Settings → Manage subscription first — uninstalling doesn’t cancel it.
