Privacy Policy

IdxBeaver is a Chrome DevTools extension for inspecting and editing browser storage on pages the developer is actively debugging.

What data IdxBeaver accesses

When you use the extension on a page, it reads storage belonging to that page:

  • IndexedDB databases and object stores
  • LocalStorage and SessionStorage entries
  • Cookies for the origin
  • Cache Storage entries

It does this only in response to actions you take in the panel (clicking a store, running a query, editing a row, etc.).

What data IdxBeaver stores

The extension stores the following on your machine only, using chrome.storage.local:

  • Your preferences (theme, fonts, sizes, panel layout)
  • Your query history (last 100 queries per origin)
  • Your saved queries

It also writes to its own private IndexedDB database (idxbeaver) on the extension's origin to persist history and saved queries across DevTools sessions.

What data IdxBeaver transmits

None. IdxBeaver does not make any network requests. No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no remote configuration, no remote code execution. All processing happens inside your browser.

Third parties

IdxBeaver does not share data with any third party because it does not collect or transmit data in the first place.

Permissions

activeTab
To operate on the tab the developer has DevTools open for.
scripting
To run storage-access logic inside the inspected page's MAIN world (the only way an MV3 service worker can read per-origin IndexedDB).
storage
To persist preferences, history, and saved queries via chrome.storage.local.
webNavigation
To detect when the inspected page navigates so the panel can refresh its view of the origin's storage.
cookies
To power the Cookies browser as an explicit feature of the extension.
host_permissions: <all_urls>
Because DevTools may be opened on any origin the developer is debugging.

Changes

This policy will be updated in-place when the extension's data practices change. The “Last updated” date above will reflect the latest revision.
