Privacy model

Everything happens inside the browser.

CalmBrowser stores only feature settings and user-hidden element selectors in Chrome local storage. It has no analytics, no accounts, no remote code, and no network requests in the runtime extension.

No telemetry

No analytics, tracking, crash reporting, or advertising identifiers.

Per-site settings

Settings are remembered by hostname so each website can feel different.

Temporary calm mode

The Too much button applies calm settings without overwriting saved preferences.

Transparent permissions

Storage, activeTab, scripting, and page access are used only for accessibility behavior.
