Privacy Policy

Last updated September 6, 2026

Advoid does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data, browsing history, or page content. It has no servers of its own to send anything to — everything it does happens locally, inside your browser.

What Advoid does

Blocks known ad and tracker requests using declarativeNetRequest rule lists built from EasyList and EasyPrivacy. Rule matching happens entirely on your device; the lists are bundled with the extension, not fetched from a live server.
Hides ad elements on pages using a bundled list of cosmetic selectors.
On YouTube, automatically skips or mutes ads it can't block outright, using page content only in your own browser tab.

What Advoid stores

Your on/off setting, your per-site whitelist, the YouTube toggle, and a local count of blocked requests are saved using Chrome's storage.local API. This data stays on your device. It is never synced to any Advoid server, because none exists, and it is never sent anywhere else.

Why Advoid asks for broad permissions

Advoid requests permission to run on all websites (<all_urls>) because ad and tracker blocking only works if it can apply on any site you visit — not because it reads, collects, or transmits what's on those pages. The storage permission is used solely for the local settings described above.

Third parties

Advoid does not use analytics, crash reporting, or advertising services of any kind, and does not share data with any third party, because it collects none.
