FAQ

Common questions

Is it free?
Yes. It is free on the Chrome Web Store, with no account and no ads.
Does it collect my browsing data?
No. It runs only when you click the icon, only on the current tab, and analyses the page inside your browser. It needs only the activeTab permission, not access to all your websites, and nothing is stored or sent.
Can it find the theme and plugins of a WordPress site?
Yes, the active theme and the plugins that show up in the page. Plugins that leave no trace in the page cannot be seen from outside.
Why does it show less for some sites?
Server-side technology such as databases and back-end frameworks is often not visible from the outside. Detection uses public signals in the page and its response headers.
Who makes it?
MatrixInn Solutions, the team behind MatrixInn PiP and Privacy for WhatsApp. "MS" stands for MatrixInn Solutions.
