Chrome permissions

Why ContinuForge asks for Chrome permissions

ContinuForge 1.1.140 requests only the permissions used by its disclosed ChatGPT workflow, local Memory, account/license and file-transfer features.

Last updated: August 10, 2026.

No blanket browsing access. ContinuForge does not request <all_urls>. Memory capture on other pages is initiated by the user through the extension's context-menu workflow and temporary tab access.

Chrome extension permissions

PermissionWhy it is used
storageStores extension settings, account/license state, refresh/session-related extension state, labels, Explorer state, Continue counters/state, ContinuForge Memory metadata and other local working state. Larger Memory payloads are kept locally in IndexedDB.
contextMenusAdds explicit user commands to save selected text, a web page or an image to ContinuForge Memory.
activeTabProvides temporary access to the currently active tab after a user action, so ContinuForge can perform a requested Memory capture without requesting permanent access to every website.
scriptingRuns the user-requested capture step in the active page to read the selected page data needed for a Memory item, such as page title, URL, language, canonical/meta information, HTML/text snapshot or image metadata.
alarmsRuns lightweight scheduled background tasks such as checking whether a newer ContinuForge release is available.
webRequestObserves only the specific ChatGPT/OpenAI file request flows needed to capture or continue user-selected files. It is not used to build a general browsing-history profile.
declarativeNetRequestCreates temporary, narrowly scoped session rules used by those ChatGPT/OpenAI file workflows and removes them after the workflow or on cleanup.

Host permissions

HostWhy access is required

Access to OpenAI file-delivery URLs only for ChatGPT file workflows initiated by the user.

ContinuForge Memory and temporary page access

When the user chooses a Memory context-menu command, ContinuForge can locally capture the selected text, supported page snapshot or image needed for that item. Memory is stored in Chrome extension storage/IndexedDB. Saving the item itself does not send its content to ContinuForge servers. If the user later sends a Memory item or locally generated Memory Document into ChatGPT, that selected material is transferred to ChatGPT/OpenAI for the requested action.

webRequest and declarativeNetRequest are not general traffic monitoring

ContinuForge does not use these permissions to collect a general history of websites visited. They are limited to the declared ChatGPT/OpenAI file-delivery hosts and temporary file-transfer logic needed by user-facing file workflows.

Privacy and Limited Use

See the full Privacy Policy for collection, use, storage, sharing, retention, deletion and security details.

ContinuForge's use of information received from Chrome APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data is not sold, sent to advertising networks/data brokers, used for personalized advertising or used to determine creditworthiness.

Account session and license security

After sign-in, ContinuForge uses a short-lived access token. On the website, the refresh token is stored in a protected HttpOnly cookie. The extension receives a device license, while plan changes are stored by the ContinuForge service and synchronized with the extension.
