Use the tab you asked for
PageMint acts only on the page you clicked from. It does not monitor other tabs or websites.
Trust & permissions
What we ask for,
and why.
PageMint is a local browser extension. It declares activeTab, scripting, storage, debugger, and downloads so the browser can capture the page you asked for, render local PDFs, remember local preferences, and save files when you explicitly request it.
Default path permission baseline
Three permissions power the shipped local-first path.
Prepare that one tab
PageMint runs local helper code in the active tab to prepare the page for export after your click.
Remember local settings
Paper size, margins, theme, High Fidelity preference, output-folder state, and optional local history are stored in this browser profile.
Save files you request
PageMint uses browser downloads only for user-triggered managed PDF saves.
High-fidelity rendering
`debugger` is declared up front, gated behind a toggle, and only attached on demand.
Use Chrome's local renderer
Chrome requires the debugger permission at install time. PageMint attaches it only during a High Fidelity run and detaches when the local render finishes.
High Fidelity is local.
PageMint does not contact a hosted renderer before running High Fidelity.
Chrome shows its debugging banner while the local renderer is attached.
What stays local
Local-first is still the headline for both paths.
Page content, rendered PDFs, extension settings, and optional local history stay in the browser profile where PageMint is installed.
PageMint is local browser software: no hosted rendering, no telemetry, no account system, and no private support desk.
The browser-print path hands off to Chrome's print dialog.
The managed-PDF path writes through local browser save or download APIs.
Removing PageMint from the browser removes its extension-local settings and history state.
Trust guardrails
The debugger permission never blurs the default story.
No backend host permission is shipped in the extension manifest.
No account, telemetry, or private support endpoint is called by the extension.
No page HTML, page text, screenshots, or exported PDFs are uploaded to PageMint.
Public support happens through GitHub issues; private content should stay out of issue reports.
The source code and MIT license are public so the runtime boundary can be inspected.
Policy links
Trust copy is not a substitute for privacy or support terms.
Privacy policy covers local processing, browser storage, public support boundaries, and what PageMint does not receive.
Terms cover the MIT license and open-source support boundary.
Support covers GitHub issue reporting and the no-private-content support boundary.
