Privacy policy

StockBlocker is deliberately small and private. It processes only the information needed to filter your current Google Images search.

What the extension reads

On Google Search result pages, StockBlocker reads the current image search query so it can add or remove its stock-provider exclusion filters. It does not access other websites.

What the extension stores

StockBlocker stores one preference in Chrome's local extension storage: whether filtering is on or off. This preference stays on your device and is removed when you uninstall the extension.

What we do not do

We do not transmit, sell, share, or use browsing data for advertising. The extension contains no analytics, trackers, remote scripts, or externally hosted code.

Permissions

Access is limited to Google Search result pages and Chrome's local storage. Those permissions support the filter and remember its state; they are not used for another purpose.

Support

Open a Google Images search and click the StockBlocker control in the upper-right corner. Blue means filtering is active. Click it again to restore the unfiltered query.

Troubleshooting

  1. Refresh the Google Images tab after installing or updating.
  2. Make sure StockBlocker is enabled in Chrome Extensions.
  3. For help, use the Support section on the Chrome Web Store listing.
