Detox for X (“the extension”) restyles and filters the X (formerly Twitter) website inside your own browser. Its privacy story is simple: it is built to keep everything local.
The extension saves your settings only — the on/off
toggles, your chosen filter topics and keywords, and your remembered focus
selection — using Chrome’s storage.sync API. This keeps the
settings in your browser and, if you are signed into Chrome, syncs them
across your own Chrome browsers through Google’s account sync (governed by
Google’s privacy policy). The extension never reads this data off any server.
The extension makes no network requests of its own. To make a heavily-filtered feed load smoothly, it may briefly pause and then resume X’s own timeline requests inside your browser — it never inspects, stores, or forwards the contents of those requests.
The extension collects no data from anyone, including children.
If this policy changes, the “Last updated” date above will change accordingly.
