Description

The Dscout Chrome Extension lets you take part in missions that involve desktop tasks—such as answering questions, uploading photos or videos, and capturing screen recordings. It’s a secure, simple way to contribute to research that shapes real products. Whether you’re reacting to a new prototype, navigating a website, or sharing your opinions on a new page design, this extension powers Dscout’s Desktop Diary and Usability missions. Dscout XT Dscout XT is an opt-in program that matches you with paid research opportunities as you browse, search, and shop online. When enabled, you may receive mission invites that pop up while you browse—which you can choose to participate in or ignore. You’ll also gain access to exclusive paid opportunities that are only matched and available to XT members. XT is disabled for everyone by default, regardless of downloading the extension. Connecting to XT requires extra steps and explicit consent, so you are in control. You can opt in or out at any time. For more information, head over to https://www.dscout.com/lp/dscout-xt

Used to work great. But these last few months discount hasn't recognized that I have downloaded the extension. I have tried restarting, removing and adding back, plus a few other things. I have been denied for missions because I was unable to get in,. I have a new mission now and it is once again not recognizing the added extension. It is obviously not just me, and it has been more than 1 mission, and I have tried it on 2 different computers so the only common denominator that hasn't changed is this extension and Chrome. Something needs fixing!

The browser extension does not work even though I have it. For some reason, it's not being recognized by dscout.

This extension has completely destroyed my Chrome browser and I had to perform completely fresh install, losing all my browsing data, login cookies and my actual dayjob work data. Avoid at all cost. Not worth the penny they offer.

Sometimes works without a hitch, Lately has been super frustrating, wasting my time and now the studies I have been a part of I most likely will not be paid for my time spent due to your technical difficulties causing annoyance and strain on your end users. And by reading the reviews below me your tech team is obviously aware of many of these issues
