Permission Trail – Your browser permission control center

Summary: Permission Trail is a browser extension that tracks and displays all types of website storage and background scripts in real time through a local dashboard. It reveals cookies, local storage, IndexedDB, cache, service workers, and form data, allowing users to monitor and delete stored data while keeping all information private on their device.

What it does

Permission Trail monitors cookies, local storage, IndexedDB, cache storage, service workers, and form data used by websites, presenting this data in a clear, visual dashboard. It stores all information locally without sending data to servers, ensuring user privacy.

Who it's for

This tool is designed for users who want transparency and control over the data websites store on their devices beyond just cookies.

Why it matters

It addresses the lack of visibility into hidden website storage and background scripts, enabling users to understand and manage persistent data that typical privacy tools overlook.
