What data it declares
The developer declares that it does not collect or use your data.
The developer also certifies that your data is not sold to third parties outside approved uses, not used for purposes unrelated to the extension's core function, and not used to decide creditworthiness or lending.
The listing does not link to a privacy policy.
This is the developer's own declaration in the Chrome Web Store. We cannot check it against what the extension does.
What Chrome asks you to allow
When you add it, Chrome asks you to allow it to:
- Read and change all your data on all websites
- Manage your downloads
- Read the icons of the websites you visit
- Read your browsing history
- Manage your apps, extensions, and themes
Derived from the manifest by Chrome's documented rules; the dialog's exact wording depends on your Chrome version and language. Chrome asks again if an update requests more.

Pages it runs its code on
It runs its own code on every page you open: the manifest declares a content script for all sites.
*://*/*every sitefile:///*files on your computer opened in the browser
A content script is code the extension injects into pages matching these patterns. On those pages it can read and change what you see, whether or not a host permission is listed above.
What it may ask for later
Not granted when you add it: Chrome asks you the moment the extension requests one of these, and you can refuse.

What the store shows
The store shows none of its badges on this listing. Most listings carry none.
Has it asked for more over time?
This is the question a permission list on its own cannot answer. An extension that shipped narrow and widened later is a different proposition from one that always asked for the same thing.
The permissions this extension requests have not changed since we started watching it.
Who publishes it
Sergio Martins, who publishes 5 listings we track. This listing has been in the store since 2026-02-08 and was last updated on 2026-04-26.
