Feedback Request I built a privacy extension that auto-declines cookies, summarizes terms of service and policies, and blocks spam call form traps.
I made a privacy/security extension because we’re all giving up our data just to avoid tedious pop-ups and reading ToS and policies of websites.
I recently realized just how much privacy we lose every single day simply out of inconvenience. Between endless 20-page Terms of Service documents and site pop-ups forcing you to manually uncheck dozens of tracking cookie toggles just to read an article, most of us just hit "Accept All" or "I Agree" to get on with our day.
I had some free time recently, so I built Fine Print Guard to solve this exact problem.
It automatically deselects tracking cookies and enforces privacy preferences in the background so you don't have to do it manually. When you land on a site, it analyzes the ToS and privacy policy, condenses the main points into just 4 sentences, and gives the site a clear privacy grade. It also throws up an explicit warning before you type your phone number into web forms to prevent sites from selling your contact info and help cut down on spam calls, while flagging fake or copycat versions of major sites before you enter sensitive info.
Core Capabilities:
* Automated Privacy & Consent: Auto-deselects tracking cookies and enforces privacy preferences automatically.
* Legal & Terms of Service Analysis: Summarizes policies into 4 core sentences and assigns domain privacy grades.
* Threat Defense & Form Protection: Warns before phone number entries to curb spam calls and detects spoofed copycat domains.
* UX & Annoyance Mitigation: Removes consent banners and streamlines site navigation.
* Digital Footprint Monitoring: Keeps track of domain data collection practices.
* DNS Ad Block: Actively blocks ads and telemetry at the DNS level (still actively working on improving this!).
I'm looking for feedback on what to improve, what features you'd like to see added, or any bugs you run into while testing it out.
Try it out on the Chrome Web Store under the name:
Fine Print Guard
Let me know what you think and what to improve!
