─── SMART SETTINGS

Textmode Overlay remembers your last-used overlay preset for each domain, so when you come back to the same site your preferred settings are ready again.

─── PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS

Textmode Overlay runs only after you click it. It works on the active tab, keeps processing local in your browser, and does not collect data.

Permissions used:
▸ activeTab operate only on the tab you invoke it on
▸ scripting inject the overlay runtime after your click
▸ storage remember your last-used settings for each domain

─── IMPORTANT NOTES

Some cross-origin, tainted, or protected media cannot be sampled due to normal browser security restrictions. The extension will show a clear message when this happens.

Uploaded fonts are local to your browser session and are not synced or shared.
