About GhostChrome

🛡️ GhostChrome — Lock Chrome with Real & Fake Sessions GhostChrome is a privacy-focused Chrome extension that allows you to secure your browsing sessions with two passwords: 🟢 Real Password → unlocks your genuine tabs and sessions. 🕵️ Fake Password → opens a clean decoy session to protect your privacy when needed. Whether you're stepping away from your computer or sharing your browser, GhostChrome ensures your personal tabs stay hidden — and your privacy stays yours. ✨ Key Features 🔐 Two-password protection — set one real and one fake password. Real opens your private session, fake opens a decoy. 🧠 Session locker — lock your browser instantly, requiring a password to restore your tabs. 🕒 Auto-lock — automatically locks after inactivity (customizable timeout). 🪝 Unlock single site or full session — flexible unlocking depending on your needs. 💾 Encrypted backup & restore — export encrypted session data to a local file, and restore it anytime. ⚙️ Optional “Close Real Tabs on Fake Unlock” — instantly wipe real session visibility when fake password is used. 🧼 Reset tools — easily reset one or both sessions with password verification. 🧭 Advanced settings panel — configure idle timeout, privacy behavior, and more. 🛡️ Local encryption only — all session data is stored securely on your device. No server, no tracking, no logs. 🔐 How It Works Save Your Sessions: Open the tabs you want to protect. Click “Save Real Tabs” or “Save Fake Tabs” to assign them to a password. Lock & Protect: Lock the extension manually or let it auto-lock after inactivity. All real tabs are closed or hidden until unlocked with the correct password. Unlock: Enter your real password to restore your real session. Or use the fake password to open a harmless decoy session. Optional: Export an encrypted backup file for recovery. Reset sessions if needed. 🧭 Why Choose GhostChrome 🛑 No sign-in required 🔒 Zero data collection or transmission 🌐 Works entirely offline 🧠 Lightweight and fast 🧍 Ideal for shared computers, public spaces, or privacy-conscious users ⚠️ Privacy & Security Notice All session data is encrypted locally using AES-GCM. No data ever leaves your device. GhostChrome does not communicate with any external server or third party.
