Permission Guard

Permission Guard helps you understand and manage the permissions websites and browser extensions can access. Instead of leaving sensitive permissions buried inside browser settings, Permission Guard provides a clear overview of your current site's permission posture, recent access activity, saved rules, and installed extension permissions. Key features include: • Website permission auditing for camera, microphone, location, notifications, clipboard access, fullscreen, pop-ups, downloads, MIDI, and other supported capabilities • Plain-English explanations that help you understand what each permission means • Exposure scoring that highlights websites that may need attention • Live monitoring of sensitive permission requests and activity • Optional warnings before sensitive actions such as camera, microphone, location, clipboard, fullscreen, pop-ups, and downloads • Per-site permission rules with Balanced, Strict, Work, Trusted, and Lockdown configurations • Permission Centre for reviewing websites, activity history, stale permissions, and saved rules • Installed Extension Auditor that explains extension permissions, website access, and potentially risky permission combinations • Alerts when an installed extension gains additional permissions • Local backup and restore for Permission Guard settings • Security Center for checking Permission Guard's own security and privacy posture Privacy is built into Permission Guard. There are no accounts, analytics, telemetry, advertising trackers, or cloud databases. Permission Guard does not sell or transmit your browsing activity. Its settings, audit information, and permission history are stored locally in your browser. Permission Guard works alongside Chrome's built-in permission system. Chrome remains the final authority over permissions such as camera, microphone, location, and notifications. Take control of what websites and extensions can access—and understand the permissions you grant before they become permanent.
