Privacy Policy

What is DevTab?

DevTab is a Chrome browser extension that replaces your new tab page with educational content for developers — including HTTP status codes, code snippets, programming trivia, and aptitude quizzes.

It is a fully offline, client-side extension. It does not connect to any server, does not load any remote resources, and does not require any account or sign-in.

Information We Collect

Specifically, DevTab does not collect, store, transmit, or have access to:

— Your name, email address, or any identifying information
— Your browsing history or the URLs you visit
— Your IP address or location
— Any keystrokes, including what you type in the search bar
— Cookies or any tracking identifiers
— Analytics or usage statistics of any kind

Third-Party Services

DevTab does not integrate with any third-party service. There are no analytics tools (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.), no advertising networks, no crash reporting services, and no CDN-loaded assets.

When you use the search bar and press Enter, your query is sent to Google Search — exactly as if you typed in the address bar. This is a standard browser navigation action and is governed by Google's own privacy policy, not ours.

Chrome Permissions

DevTab requests only one permission from Chrome: overriding the new tab page (chrome_url_overrides). It does not request access to your tabs, history, bookmarks, cookies, or any other browser data.

You can verify this by inspecting the manifest.json file in the source code.

Questions?

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how DevTab works, you're welcome to open an issue on GitHub. The entire source code is public and auditable.
