Firefox add-on
uwait for Firefox
uwait is a free Firefox add-on that pays you for the seconds you already spend waiting while ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and other assistants generate an answer. One discreet, native ad fills the wait, and a share of every view funds the sources the AI cited.
Free, no password. Reviewed and distributed through Mozilla Add-ons (AMO).
What it does
What is the uwait Firefox add-on?
uwait turns AI wait time into income. The moment a supported assistant starts writing a reply, the add-on runs a real-time auction for that single moment and slides in one native, non-intrusive sponsored card next to the answer. It never blocks or delays the response, and it disappears on its own.
Every winning bid is split three ways: 50% to you, the earner, 30% in royalties to the public sources the AI cited, and 20% to run the platform. You watch the seconds you were going to wait anyway, and everyone behind the answer gets paid.
Earnings accumulate in your wallet and are withdrawn to your bank through Stripe. There is nothing to configure: install, sign in with a one-time link, and you earn from your next answer.
