■ Privacy
· No requests are made to the GitHub API
· Your repository content is never sent to any external server
· The extension only targets GitHub pages needed to display the current HTML file
■ Limitations
· The preview uses source code already visible on the current page; files not shown on that page are not available
· Relative asset paths are resolved against GitHub raw URLs and require browser-accessible resources
· JavaScript execution is disabled in the preview sandbox for security
· Not intended as a replacement for a local development server or full GitHub Pages deployment
· GitHub UI changes may occasionally require extension updates
