Privacy

Last updated: 1 July 2026

Progress Tab is a browser extension that replaces your new-tab page with one verified, sourced fact a day. We built it to respect your attention and your privacy. There are no accounts, no logins, and no advertising. This note covers the extension and this website.

The extension

Stored only on your device. Your language choice, your guess mode, and your guess history are kept in your browser’s local storage. They never leave your device, and reinstalling the extension clears them.

Anonymous usage we collect. To understand whether the app is useful and to improve it, and only if you agree, the extension sends anonymous events to our server. An event contains:

• a random install identifier (a generated id, not tied to your name or account);
• the event type (for example: a card was viewed, a guess was made, time spent);
• the interface language and a timestamp.

It does not contain your name, your email, the pages you visit, or any content you type. The data is used only in aggregate. It is off by default: the extension asks once on your first new tab and stays off unless you agree. You can change it any time in the extension’s options (“Anonymous statistics”).

This website

This site (progresstab.app) sets no cookies. We use only Vercel Web Analytics, a first-party, cookieless measurement tool, to count page views and outbound clicks (like “Add to Chrome”) in aggregate. We removed Google Analytics from the site in July 2026.

We use analytics only in aggregate. There are no ads, we sell no data, and we do not link this to the extension’s data or to your identity.

Where data lives

Anonymous extension-telemetry events are stored in our database (hosted on Vercel/Upstash) and are also forwarded, from our server, to Google Analytics (GA4) as a mirror for aggregate analysis. This server-side mirror is separate from the website above, which sets no cookies. The forwarded events carry no personal data (the random install id maps to an analytics id only), are kept in aggregate, and are rotated over time. We do not sell, rent, or share personal data, because we don’t collect it.

Children

Progress Tab is a general-audience reading tool and is not directed at children under 13.
