Website content is not stored or transmitted to the developer or any third party. The extension does not include analytics, advertising, tracking, or external server connections. Your keyword lists and preferences are stored locally using Chrome’s extension storage. PERMISSIONS PhraseBeacon runs on webpages so it can locate and highlight the keywords you specify.

Create a keyword list or import lists from a CSV file. 3. Choose highlight and text colors. 4. Add keywords and configure matching options. 5. Save the list and browse normally. Matching text will be highlighted automatically. 6. Use the match counter, navigation controls, or page minimap to locate results.
