What to use instead of a Gimkit extension

Teachers who want a Gimkit extension usually want questions they can reuse with a class, not a browser add-on. DeckOwl does not install anything into Gimkit. It creates the questions from your own material, so you control the content and the answers.

Generate quizzes directly from the files your course already uses.
Review explanations to see why each answer is right or wrong.
Export to Anki or CSV on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.
Start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card.

Example browser extension quiz questions

What file must every browser extension include at its root?manifest.json, which declares the extension's name, version, permissions and scripts so the browser knows how to load it.

Which extension script can read and change the content of a web page?A content script, because it runs inside the context of the page it is injected into.

Why do extensions declare permissions?Permissions limit what the extension can access, such as tabs or storage, so users can review the risk before installing.

In Manifest V3, what replaces the persistent background page?Service workers, which start when an event fires and stop when idle, saving memory.

Where should an extension's API keys be kept instead of hard-coded?In a secure backend or protected storage, because anyone can read the code of a packaged extension.
