Privacy Policy

Viewport Resizer Chrome Extension · Effective March 3, 2026

Overview

Viewport Resizer is a browser extension that resizes your Chrome window to preset screen resolutions. It is designed to collect no user data whatsoever. This policy explains what the extension does and does not do.

Data Collection

Viewport Resizer does not collect, store, or transmit any data.

Specifically, the extension does not:

  • Read or access the content of any web page you visit
  • Collect your browsing history or navigation behavior
  • Access cookies, localStorage, or session data
  • Make any network requests to any server
  • Use analytics, telemetry, or tracking of any kind
  • Require you to create an account or sign in
  • Store any data locally or remotely

Permissions Explained

The extension declares a single capability in its manifest: a content script that runs on all URLs. Here is what it does and why:

Content Script ("<all_urls>")

What it does: Listens for the browser window resize event and displays a small temporary overlay in the bottom-right corner of the page showing the current window dimensions. The overlay fades out after approximately two seconds and is removed from the page.

Why all URLs: The overlay needs to appear on any website you are testing, regardless of domain. A narrower match pattern would prevent the overlay from appearing on unlisted sites.

The chrome.windows API used for resizing the browser window does not require any explicit permission.

Third-Party Services

Viewport Resizer does not integrate with, connect to, or communicate with any third-party services, APIs, or servers. The extension runs entirely on your local machine.

Updates to This Policy

If this privacy policy is updated, the changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date. The extension itself does not notify users of policy changes because it has no mechanism to do so — it makes no network requests.
