June 10, 2024 No longer works. No alerts, and even when I try to adjust the alert tone and volume, there's nothing. No sounds-and like everyone else, it constantly signs out. What happened? *edit August 26, 2025 now the dang thing won't even recognize when I try to sign back in. Just a big red square of death with a ! in the center. Why is this so difficult to fix? When it works it's really, really useful, but the negatives at this point make me want to just uninstall.

Sam2024年6月7日

Had to uninstall, stuck in a endless login loop like many others. Red exclamation mark near the icon, and endlessly logs you in/out. Please fix.

Luisa Taylor2024年6月7日

Extension is stuck in a contact log in cycle. The extension was very laggy before that and usually showed studies, once they had been filled up. Had to remove.

Shannon McCauley2024年6月5日

Usually this extension works wonders, but lately it is broken. I am stuck in a login loop and it does not recognize my credentials. Two log-in screens overlap and after I attempt to log-in a red block appears to signify it is not working. I have removed it and re-downloaded the app to no avail.

Debra Lindsay2024年6月4日

Not had a study notification since these updates started coming through. I've deleted and reinstalled and still nothing

Yvonne Fried2024年6月3日

I installed the updated version and it still doesn't work.

Tanya Lees2024年6月2日

I've updated and reinstalled - but it still doesn't work. I've not had notice of a study via this extension for over a week.

Adrian Norris2024年5月31日

Carole is correct. You need to remove the extension and then reinstall it, as it has been updated. The link is in the help centre on Prolific.

Snenhlanhla Nhlengethwa2024年5月30日

Carole Bys2024年5月26日

Monitors Prolific.com for new research studies and sends desktop notifications to participants when studies become available

Prolific participants miss time-sensitive study opportunities because they cannot constantly watch the Prolific website; the extension automates monitoring and alerts them immediately

Extension authenticates user via Prolific OAuth → periodically polls Prolific API for new studies → when studies are found, plays an alert sound and shows desktop notification → displays study count on the extension badge → user clicks notification or extension to go to Prolific and participate

Target users: Prolific research study participants looking to maximize their earnings by catching new studies quickly

background.js and chunks/popup-DcTuvAWh.js are heavily minified (single-line, ~79KB and ~288KB respectively), making it difficult to trace exact control flow and feature logic
Cannot fully confirm whether the OAuth flow is mandatory for basic functionality or if some features work without login due to minification
Cannot inspect the popup UI to see if there are upgrade/premium prompts hidden in the minified JS

Monetization

No paid features detected

No evidence of paid features within the extension. The 'upgrade' keyword hit is from generic React minified code, not a payment prompt. 'pro' hits are from the word 'prolific' or variable names, not a 'Pro plan'. 'license' is from Tailwind CSS MIT license comment. No subscription, payment, Stripe, billing, or premium feature gating found anywhere in the source code. The extension itself is free; Prolific as a platform has separate business models for researchers but those are unrelated to this extension's functionality.

Confidence: 90
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / Medium
Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension includes a full OIDC/OAuth client library in background.js, communicates with auth.prolific.com for authentication, uses access_token/refresh_token flows, and has the 'identity' permission. To monitor Prolific for new studies, the extension must authenticate the user against the Prolific platform to access user-specific study data via internal-api.prolific.com and api.prolific.com. Without a Prolific account session, the core workflow (fetching available studies for the logged-in participant) cannot function.
