Data Collection
Zero. Null. Nothing. This extension does not collect, store, transmit, or even glance at any personal data, browsing history, or usage metrics. Not locally. Not remotely. Not ever.
Because there's nothing to collect. This extension exists to copy a URL. Full stop.
Zero. Null. Nothing. This extension does not collect, store, transmit, or even glance at any personal data, browsing history, or usage metrics. Not locally. Not remotely. Not ever.
Three permissions are declared in the manifest. Here's exactly why:
tabs
Read the URL of the currently active tab — the one thing you asked us to copy.
offscreen
Spawn an offscreen document so the Clipboard API works inside a service worker context. Chrome requires this.
clipboardWrite
Write that URL to your clipboard. That's literally the whole feature.
No host permissions. No storage. No identity. No webRequest.
The extension makes zero network requests. It has no server, no backend, no analytics endpoint, no telemetry pipeline. There is no remote infrastructure. The code runs entirely in your browser.
No third-party SDKs. No ad networks. No tracking pixels. No crash reporters. No A/B testing frameworks. No dependency that could phone home. The entire codebase is four files you can read in under five minutes.
Don't take our word for it. The full source is public on GitHub. Every line. Read it, audit it, fork it.
