Loopcv Browser Extension
Get more from your job hunt with our AI-powered browser extension that automates matching and interview prep, making your search smarter and faster.
Why Use Our Browser Extension for Job Searching?
Honestly, if you’re still hopping between job boards manually, you’re wasting a lot of time. Our browser extension changes everything by turning your everyday browsing into an automated job search engine. It’s not just some basic tool—it connects directly to our AI platform to analyze job listings in real time. Whether you’re scrolling LinkedIn, checking company career pages, or browsing Indeed, the extension spots relevant openings and helps you apply faster.
From what users tell us, the time saved is huge. You don’t have to jump between tabs or copy-paste your info anymore. The extension does the heavy lifting, parsing job data and matching it against your profile instantly.
| Browser | Installation Time | Account Sync | Auto-Updates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chrome | 1-2 minutes | Instant | Yes |
| Firefox | 2-3 minutes | 30 seconds | Yes |
| Edge | 1-2 minutes | Instant | Yes |
Getting Set Up: Installing the Extension
Setting up is pretty straightforward, but the process depends on your browser. Chrome and Firefox are the easiest, while Safari support is still coming. Edge users can install the Chrome version since Edge uses the same engine now.
Chrome Installation Process
- Open Chrome and head to the Chrome Web Store.
- Search for “Loopcv Browser Extension” and find our official listing.
- Click “Add to Chrome” and confirm the installation.
- Look for the Loopcv icon in your toolbar once installed.
- Sign into your Loopcv account through the extension to sync your data.
Firefox Setup Instructions
- Open Firefox and visit addons.mozilla.org.
- Search for “Loopcv Browser Extension.”
- Select the official extension and click “Add to Firefox.”
- Allow permissions when prompted.
- If the icon doesn’t appear, try restarting Firefox.
- Sign in with your Loopcv credentials to connect.
Safari and Edge Compatibility
Safari support is on the way, but in the meantime, Chrome and Firefox are your best bet. Edge users can install the Chrome extension directly from the Web Store without hassle.
Connecting Your Loopcv Account
Once installed, click the extension icon and log in with your Loopcv email and password. This syncs your profile, CVs, job preferences, and application history securely with the extension. From there, it knows exactly what kinds of jobs to look for when you browse.
We use encrypted connections, so your data stays safe while syncing. After logging in, you’ll see your preferences already loaded, and the extension starts scanning job sites immediately for matches.
Features You’ll Actually Use
Let’s talk about what really matters day to day.
Smart Job Detection
Our AI scans every page you visit for relevant job postings, even beyond just the big boards. It spots listings on company pages, LinkedIn posts, and sometimes even in forums where jobs are mentioned. You’ll see a small Loopcv icon pop up next to detected jobs, letting you save or apply with a click.
One-Click Applications
For sites where we have integration, like Indeed, you can apply directly through the extension. It pulls your CV and cover letter automatically from your Loopcv account and submits the application for you. That’s a huge time saver and cuts down on repetitive form filling.
Application Tracking
Every job you save or apply to through the extension is logged in your Loopcv dashboard. So if you forget where you applied or want to check the status, it’s all there — no more guessing or lost emails.
Setting Your Job Preferences for Best Results
The extension works best when you tell it exactly what you want. Spend a few minutes customizing preferences via the extension popup after installation.
- Location & Remote Work: Set cities or regions and specify if you want remote jobs. You can even filter by preferred time zones for remote roles.
- Salary & Experience: Filter out jobs that don’t meet your salary expectations or experience level so you only see relevant listings.
- Industry & Role Types: Be specific about your field and roles. This helps the AI narrow down opportunities to those you’re actually interested in.
| Preference Type | Impact on Results | Update Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Location | High | Real-time |
| Salary Range | Medium | Daily |
| Experience Level | High | Real-time |
| Industry | Medium | Real-time |
| Remote Work | High | Real-time |
How It Works on Different Job Boards
Every site you visit works a bit differently with our extension, so here’s what you can expect on the major platforms.
LinkedIn Integration
When browsing LinkedIn, the extension highlights jobs in your feed, company pages, and even posts or comments mentioning openings. Just look for the Loopcv icon to save or apply instantly.
Indeed and Other Major Boards
Indeed is one of our best-supported boards. You get autofill applications, job tracking, and suggestions for similar roles based on what you view. Other boards like Monster, ZipRecruiter, and Glassdoor get job detection and saving features, with application automation coming to more sites over time.
Company Career Pages
One of the coolest parts is how the extension scans company career pages directly. Sometimes these pages have openings that aren’t on job boards yet, so you catch fresh opportunities early.
Troubleshooting Common Extension Issues
Extension Not Showing Up
If you don’t see the Loopcv icon, check your browser’s extension or add-ons page to make sure it’s enabled. Chrome users can visit chrome://extensions/, Firefox users about:addons. Sometimes updates or restarts disable extensions temporarily.
Login Problems
Having trouble logging in through the extension? Try logging out and back in on the main Loopcv site first. Also, double-check you’re using the same email for both places—this is a surprisingly common snag.
Jobs Not Detected
If the extension isn’t finding jobs on a page you know has openings, try refreshing. Some sites load content dynamically as you scroll, and the extension catches those on reload. If it still misses jobs, let us know—we’re constantly refining detection.
Privacy and Data Security You Can Trust
What Data We Collect
The extension only tracks job-related browsing activity: URLs and job details on pages you visit where jobs appear. We don’t monitor your general web browsing like shopping or social media.
How We Protect Your Info
All communication between the extension and our servers is encrypted. Your login credentials aren’t stored locally, and tokens expire regularly. If you uninstall, any cached data on your browser is wiped, but your Loopcv account data remains safe on our servers.
Managing Your Data
You can see all job interactions collected by the extension right in your Loopcv dashboard. Want to clear history? Just hit the clear option there, and the extension will reset while keeping your preferences intact.
| Data Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Browsing Data | Job-related URLs only |
| Stored Credentials | Secure tokens, no local storage |
| Data Encryption | End-to-end encrypted transmission |
| Data Control | User dashboard management |
