A clear privacy check for your browser

See what a website asks to access.

Site Privacy Guard turns privacy signals into plain language—what a site requested, what the browser appeared to allow, and where you can review the permission.

Access allowed

Camera or microphone was allowed

If you did not start a call or recording, review this site’s permissions.

↗

Other-company connection

Repeated requests are grouped by destination—not listed one by one.

Example only · no live website is being scanned

This is an interactive preview. It does not read your browser or change any permission.

Only the useful signals

One small report. The important parts first.

Start with the access that might matter to you. Routine website connections are grouped and shown as information, not proof of tracking.

Sensitive access

See observed requests for camera, microphone, location, clipboard, screen sharing, and file selection.

Allowed · blocked · unclear

All-sites history

Review visited website hostnames and saved privacy signals after a tab is closed.

From install onward

Grouped connections

Review distinct external destinations. Repeated requests are grouped so the timeline stays readable.

Signals, not accusations

Simple next steps

Open browser site-permission settings where available, or get plain guidance for files and screen sharing.

You stay in control

Understand the colors

Clear labels—not a scary score.

Color is paired with words so the report remains useful for people with different vision needs.

Red · Access allowed

A sensitive request appears to have succeeded. Review it if you did not expect it.

Amber · Needs a decision

A request was seen, but its result is unclear. Check the browser permission if concerned.

↗

Blue · Connections noticed

Other-company or tracker-name signals can be normal site features or false alarms.

✓

Green · Blocked or no high-risk signal

A denied request or quiet report is not proof that a site collected nothing.

Why does it ask for access to websites?

To observe sensitive-feature signals and request destinations on HTTP/HTTPS pages, and to record hostname-only visits. It does not read page contents or encrypted traffic payloads.

Where is the log stored?

In this browser’s local extension storage. It is not uploaded to a Site Privacy Guard server. You can export or delete it from the logbook.

ABOUT THE MAKER

Sunil Bishnoi · Cyber Security Intern

I’m learning about networking, data centers, and identity and access management. I made Site Privacy Guard to make browser privacy signals easier for everyday people to understand—and to point them to a practical next step when a sensitive permission appears.

Made with: Manus AI, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The browser extension uses JavaScript and Chromium Manifest V3 APIs.

Know the limits

Helpful signals, honest boundaries.

Privacy tools should explain what they can—and cannot—see.

Does it tell me everything a website collects?

No. It reports observable browser/API attempts and request destinations. It cannot see encrypted HTTPS contents, form values, cookies, server-side collection, or prove what a company stored.

Can it see my exact IP address?

No. Websites normally see your public IP when you connect. Site Privacy Guard does not look it up, infer it, or save it.

Does it block camera, location, trackers, or files?

No. It is an auditor, not a blocker. Browser permission buttons take you to site settings when possible. Screen sharing uses the browser’s share picker; a file-selection signal does not confirm upload.

Does it include my earlier browsing history?

No. Visit history starts after installation and records hostnames and visit times only. It does not request access to your browser’s previous history.

What happens to my data?

Records stay in the browser’s local extension storage. The timeline is capped at 500 events per hostname. Export is manual; clear a single site or the whole logbook whenever you want.

Why might a page have no report?

Refresh tabs after installing or updating. Browser settings, extension stores, internal pages, and other restricted pages cannot be monitored. A quiet report is not proof of zero collection.

Make the next permission prompt easier to understand.

Review the signal, decide what you trust, and change browser permissions yourself.
