Developer comments
This extension has no external dependencies and no build process that transforms source code.

build.js only zips the source files — no minification, bundling, or code generation occurs. The files in the ZIP are identical to the source files in the repository.

Source code is publicly available at: https://github.com/ottomando/quick-perplexes

The extension does not collect, transmit, or store any user data.
