Privacy policy
Last updated 15 August 2026
Bottomless collects nothing, sends nothing, and stores nothing about you.
What the extension does with page content
When you click the toolbar icon or press the keyboard shortcut, Bottomless reads the rendered contents of that one tab in order to produce a screenshot of it. The image is created inside your browser. It is held in your browser's local storage only long enough for the preview tab to open it, and it is deleted automatically an hour later, or immediately when you clear browsing data.
The image is written to disk only when you choose to save it, to the Downloads location you have configured in Chrome.
What is sent over the network
Nothing. Bottomless makes no network requests. It has no server, no analytics, no error reporting, no telemetry, and no update channel other than the Chrome Web Store itself.
What is stored
Your settings: output format, resolution, JPEG quality, and the page handling toggles. These live in Chrome's local extension storage on your own machine. No page content, no addresses of pages you visit, and no identifiers are stored.
Permissions and why they exist
- activeTab: read the tab you are capturing, granted only at the moment you click the icon, and only for that tab.
- scripting: run a short script in that tab to measure the page height, pause animations, hide scrollbars, and then restore the page.
- storage: remember your settings.
- downloads: save the finished image when you press Download.
- debugger: used by Turbo mode to render and capture the page in one pass. Chrome does not allow this permission to be optional, so it is granted when you install. It is attached only to the tab you are capturing, only for the moment that capture runs, and detached immediately afterwards. It is never attached to any other tab. Turning Turbo off in settings stops it being used at all.
Bottomless requests no host permissions, which means it has no standing access to any website. It cannot read a page unless you actively ask it to capture that page.
Third parties
There are none. No data is sold, shared, or transferred to anyone, because none is collected.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be published at this same address and the date at the top will change.
