💡 HOW IT WORKS

CleanSlate uses Chrome's built-in declarativeNetRequest API (Manifest V3) to efficiently block tracking requests before they even reach the tracking servers. This means:

• Faster page loads (blocked content never downloads)
• Better privacy (trackers never see your activity)
• Lower bandwidth usage
• Minimal CPU impact

The cookie banner feature uses smart pattern detection to automatically find and click "Reject All" buttons, saving you time and protecting your privacy.

🤔 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Will this break websites?
A: Very rarely. CleanSlate only blocks tracking scripts, not functional content. Websites work normally.

Q: Can I still use Facebook, Instagram, and Amazon?
A: Absolutely! We only block tracking on OTHER websites. You can use these services directly without any issues.

Q: Does this replace ad blockers?
A: No. CleanSlate focuses specifically on privacy tracking. Use it alongside ad blockers like uBlock Origin for comprehensive protection.

Q: Why should I trust CleanSlate with my privacy?
A: Our code is open source and auditable. We don't collect ANY data - this is verifiable in the code. Unlike other "privacy" tools that track you, we practice what we preach.

Q: Will this slow down my browser?
A: No. Blocking happens at the network level before content downloads, which actually makes pages load faster.
