  • Latest version

    Version 1.5.0

    Released Sep 12, 2026 - 67.77 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    Privacy Inspector 1.5.0

    Reviewer notes
    • Every entry — stored cookies, Set-Cookie events, requests, Local and Session Storage — takes a note of its own. The glyph beside the field switches it between a note and a question.
    • The note symbol in the header shows and hides the fields. An entry that carries a note is marked even while the fields are hidden.
    • Notes appear in the TXT and Word exports directly under the entry they were written about. A note whose entry is no longer in the audit is listed in a section of its own rather than dropped in silence.
    • Notes belong to the recording they were written on: they survive freezing and a page reload, and they are discarded by Clear and Restart.

    Deleting cookies and Web Storage
    • The command is now a red control in the header rather than an item in the settings menu. It asks in a sheet of its own that names exactly what would be deleted and offers Cancel.

    Interface
    • The header carries a quiet tint instead of a fully coloured band, and the recording state is a coloured dot again: green while recording, amber while paused, red when nothing is being recorded.
    • The six counters carry their symbols again, sit centred, and are the navigation: the counter whose list is open is marked. The separate row of tabs below them is gone.
    • The consent comparison opens from a control in the footer.
    • The default palette's blue is cleaner, and the extension's icon now carries the red of the other add-ons in this family.

    Version 1.4.0

    Released Sep 10, 2026 - 61.42 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    Privacy Inspector 1.3.0

    Trustworthy readings
    • Every read of cookies and Web Storage now reports its own status. A read that failed is shown as "could not be read" instead of an empty list, and it never appears in a consent comparison as a deletion.
    • Local and Session Storage are read separately, so a page that blocks one of them no longer hides the other.
    • If a cookie query has to fall back to unpartitioned storage, that is stated. A cookie missing from the narrower read is not reported as deleted, and a Set-Cookie event that was not found is not reported as absent.
    • Set-Cookie events now distinguish present, present with an unverified partition, present with a differing value, present in another context, not stored, and not checked.

    Complete observation
    • Third-party and Firefox classification labels are kept for every hop of a redirect chain, so a request that starts on a third-party host stays findable after it redirects to the site itself. Firefox's individual classification flags are named.
    • The recording status follows the network listeners that are actually registered. Closing one of two open sidebars no longer stops the recording for the other.
    • Every interruption of the recording — pause, global off, the last sidebar closing, a page change while paused — is stamped with a timestamp, and the consent comparison names each gap between the two snapshots instead of reporting "no new activity" for a period that was never observed.
    • Network events survive a page reload between the Before and After snapshots.

    Cookies, storage and values
    • Cookie cards and storage keys expand: full name, domain, path, exact expiry, all attributes including SameSite=None and Host-only, cookie store, partition, read time, and the value itself with copy and JSON formatting.
    • Values are held only in the memory of the open sidebar. They are never written to storage and never appear in TXT or Word exports. A frozen audit reopened later says that the value was not stored in the snapshot rather than substituting the site's current value.
    • Remaining lifetimes are reported in minutes, hours, days and months. A frozen audit measures them from the moment it was frozen.

    Consent and report
    • Changed cookies name the attribute that changed, for example SameSite: None to Lax.
    • The action taken between the snapshots and a reviewer note can be recorded, and all new requests are listed with an optional third-party filter.
    • The report leads with audit conditions, the reviewer action, a summary of changes and the observation limits, followed by the detailed lists.

    Interface
    • Larger type, expandable cards that keep their state across updates, clickable summary counters, and neutral marks for added, changed and removed entries instead of a good/bad colour scheme.

  • Version 1.2.1

    Released Sep 9, 2026 - 33.56 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    Privacy Inspector 1.2.1

    • The interface is now entirely in English and follows the colours of the other extensions in this family.
    • Extended audit workflow: consent snapshots compare the state before and after a consent action and show added, changed and deleted entries.
    • Freeze preserves an immutable audit snapshot across tab switches and navigation.
    • Pause applies per tab, Off globally.
    • Recording runs only while the sidebar or a connected Hub is active; otherwise the extension processes nothing.

    Cookie and storage values stay hidden; changes are detected through local SHA-256 hashes.
