Permissions Guide

SessionTrim keeps its permissions narrow on purpose. This page mirrors the product boundary described in the extension and should stay aligned with the browser-store submission copy.

storage

Used to store feature settings, prompt library entries, chat folders and local indexing metadata, premium cache state, and performance dashboard UI state. This data is intended to stay in browser extension storage on the device unless a future feature clearly says otherwise.

activeTab

Used when you trigger popup actions against the current ChatGPT tab, such as opening a new chat, copying the last reply, or exporting the current conversation.

Host permissions

SessionTrim only requests access to ChatGPT pages:

• *://chat.openai.com/*
• *://chatgpt.com/*

That scope is required because the content script and in-page UI are only injected on ChatGPT surfaces.

What SessionTrim does not request

• Broad access to every site you visit
• downloads permission
• cookies
• webRequest
• Global tabs access across browsing history
• Remote analytics permissions on the current launch path

Why this matters

The product promise is Firefox-first performance and local-first workflow tools. Keeping permissions tight helps that promise stay believable: no unnecessary site access, no hidden telemetry route, and no broad browser surveillance footprint.
