Memory Leak Detector — Chrome Extension

Last updated: April 4, 2026

Overview

Memory Leak Detector ("the Extension") is a Chrome DevTools extension developed by Ishu Sharma. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how the Extension handles your data.

Data Collection

We do not collect any personal data. The Extension:

  • Does NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal information
  • Does NOT send any data to external servers or third parties
  • Does NOT use analytics, tracking, cookies, or telemetry of any kind
  • Does NOT require user accounts, sign-ups, or authentication

How the Extension Works

All memory analysis runs entirely within your local browser. The Extension injects a detection script into the active tab's page context to monitor JavaScript memory patterns (event listeners, timers, DOM nodes, heap usage). This data is processed locally and displayed in the DevTools panel and extension popup. No data ever leaves your machine.

Permissions Used

The Extension requests the following Chrome permissions, each for a specific purpose:

activeTab

To inject the memory detection script into the currently active tab for analysis.

scripting

To programmatically inject the detector engine into web pages.

storage

To locally store monitoring session state and user preferences within the browser.

alarms

To schedule periodic memory sampling intervals for continuous monitoring.

host_permissions (<all_urls>)

To allow the Extension to analyze any website you choose to monitor. No data is read or transmitted — this permission enables the content script injection only.

Data Storage

The Extension uses Chrome's local storage API (chrome.storage.local) to persist monitoring session state between page loads. This data is stored entirely on your local device and is never synced or transmitted. You can clear this data at any time by removing the extension.

Third-Party Services

The Extension does not integrate with, connect to, or communicate with any third-party services, APIs, or servers. It operates fully offline after installation.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy is updated, the changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date. The Extension will continue to operate under the principle of collecting zero user data.
