Chrome Extension

The ClearSight Chrome extension lets you scan any page you’re on with a single click — no need to copy and paste URLs.

How it works

  1. Click the ClearSight icon in your browser toolbar
  2. The extension reads the URL of your current tab
  3. Click Scan this page — a new tab opens with the scan results

The extension uses the same scanner as the main app. Results are identical to running a single-page scan manually.

Installing the extension

The extension is not yet published to the Chrome Web Store. To install it manually:

  1. Download the latest extension.zip from the GitHub releases page 
  2. Unzip the file
  3. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions
  4. Enable Developer mode (top right toggle)
  5. Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder

The extension requires the ClearSight app to be running. It opens scans at http://localhost:3000 by default — update this if your app runs on a different URL.

Permissions

The extension only requests activeTab permission — it reads the URL of the current tab and nothing else. It does not run in the background or access your browsing history.
