5. Chrome Extension Usage

Extension Purpose

Our Chrome browser extension enables crawling of JavaScript-rendered websites and sites requiring authentication. It operates within your browser to render pages exactly as users see them.

Authenticated Site Crawling

  • The extension can crawl sites where you have an active login session
  • You are responsible for ensuring you have permission to crawl authenticated content
  • The extension uses your existing browser cookies; it never stores or transmits your passwords
  • Do not use the extension to access content you are not authorized to view

Anti-Bot Protection Handling

  • Some websites display CAPTCHA challenges or Cloudflare protection screens
  • The extension will pause and notify you when such challenges are detected
  • You must manually solve these challenges in your browser
  • We do not use any automated CAPTCHA solving services
  • Repeatedly triggering anti-bot protection on third-party sites may result in your IP being blocked by those sites

Extension Removal

  • You can uninstall the extension at any time through Chrome's extension management

  • You can revoke the extension's authentication token from your account dashboard
