Worth knowing

Routine for an extension

Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on specific pages only: 6 site patterns.

Show the remaining 3
  • https://claude.ai/* only claude.ai
  • https://www.claude.ai/* only www.claude.ai
  • https://www.sideindexer.com/* only www.sideindexer.com

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.

Sites that can connect to it

Web pages matching these patterns can open a messaging channel to it: 1 site pattern.

Declared as externally connectable in the manifest: a page on these sites can exchange messages with the extension, for example to tell it you have signed in. It does not give the page access to your browser.

What the store shows

The listing says it offers in-app purchases.

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

dolphinincali. This listing has been in the store since 2025-11-12 and was last updated on 2025-11-27.
