Your words never leave your browser, mate. 🚫 No Analytics – No usage tracking, no event logging, no crash reporting, no telemetry of any kind. Nada. 🚫 No External Requests – Zero network requests. No remote fonts, no CDN scripts, no API calls. Every asset is bundled right inside the extension. Disconnect from the internet and it still works a treat. 🚫 No Ads, No Upsells – No advertisements, no premium tiers, no subscription prompts. Completely free, you beauty. 📋 Permission Explanation: contextMenus – Adds the "Analyze selected text" item to your right-click menu. Without this permission, the context menu feature simply couldn't exist. activeTab – Shoots the analysis modal into the current tab when you give the context menu a nudge. The extension only gets cracking on the tab you're actively using, and only when you specifically ask it to. Content scripts on all URLs – Makes the context menu work across every webpage. The content script listens out for the analysis command and then dishes up the modal. It doesn't read or muck about with page content on its own. Three permissions, each one essential, each minimal, each completely justified. 💡 USE CASES ✍️ Writers and Bloggers – Check word counts against your targets before publishing.
