What data the extension accesses

To block ads and trackers, AdBlock Guard inspects network requests and page content entirely on your device:

• Network requests — matched against a local blocklist. Chrome's declarativeNetRequest engine does this locally; the extension never sees a log of your browsing.
• Page content — content scripts hide leftover ad elements and skip YouTube video ads. This runs in the page and sends nothing anywhere.

What data the extension stores

Saved locally via storage.local, never leaving your device:

• Whether protection is on or off
• Your per-site allowlist
• A count of ads blocked

Remove the extension to erase all of it.

What the extension does NOT do

• No personal data collection
• No browsing history collection
• No tracking or analytics
• No telemetry
• No data sent to any server
• No data sold or shared
• No account or sign-up
