WebBox currently collects no personal data, sends nothing to any server, and has no analytics or tracking of any kind.
Overview
WebBox is a browser extension that lets you inspect and edit elements on any webpage directly — without opening DevTools. All functionality runs entirely within your browser. Nothing you do with the extension is transmitted, logged, or shared.
Data We Collect
We collect no data. Specifically:
- No browsing history or page content is recorded
- No edits you make to page elements are transmitted — they are only stored on your device, and only for sites where you turn on “Remember on this site”
- No personal information is collected at any point
- No analytics, telemetry, or crash reporting is in place
Local Storage
WebBox stores the following locally on your device using chrome.storage.local:
- Your mode preference (Simple or Advanced)
- For sites where you turn on “Remember on this site” only: the edits you made on that site's pages and the page theme you chose, so they can be reapplied on your next visit
This data:
- Never leaves your device
- Is never transmitted to any server
- Can be cleared for a site by turning “Remember on this site” off, or entirely by removing the extension
Permissions
WebBox requests the minimum permissions required to function:
-
activeTab
Allows the extension to inject the editor into the current tab when you click the toolbar button. Access is granted only to the tab you are actively viewing, only when you invoke the extension.
-
scripting
Required to inject the editor script and styles into the active tab. No scripts are loaded from external sources — all code is bundled within the extension package.
-
storage
Used to remember your Simple / Advanced mode preference, and the edits and theme for sites you chose to remember, locally on your device.
-
Site access (optional)
Requested for a single site only when you turn on “Remember on this site”, so WebBox can reapply your saved edits and theme when that site loads. Nothing is requested at install. Turning the option off removes the access again, and you can also revoke it at any time from Chrome's extension settings.
Remote Code
WebBox executes no remote code. All JavaScript, CSS, and assets are fully self-contained within the extension package. This complies with Chrome's Manifest V3 requirements and means the extension's behaviour cannot be changed without a published update that you can review.
Third Parties
WebBox has no third-party integrations, SDKs, advertising networks, or data brokers. No data is shared with any third party because no data is collected in the first place.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy is updated in a future version of the extension, the updated date at the top of this page will reflect the change. Continued use of the extension after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
