Privacy Policy

Resource Guardian does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal or sensitive user data. All analysis happens locally on your device.

What the extension does locally

  • Observes network requests of the current site to display first‑ and third‑party hosts.
  • Blocks/unblocks domains and specific URLs via Chrome's Declarative Net Request API.
  • Stores your preferences and lists in chrome.storage.local only.
  • Optionally downloads public, keyless threat lists (URLhaus hostfile and StevenBlack hosts) and compares them locally with the current tab's hosts.

Data sharing and transfer

  • No data leaves your device. Remote fetches are limited to the public lists above.
  • No analytics, fingerprinting, or tracking.
