We know nothing
about your scrolling.

The Short Version
Doom Scroller does not collect, transmit, or share any of your data.
Everything stays on your device. We have no servers. We receive nothing. We know nothing. Honestly, we'd rather not know.
What We Collect
Doom Scroller stores the following data locally on your device using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.local API:
- Total scroll distance (in pixels, converted to metres)
- Daily and weekly scroll totals
- Per-site scroll breakdown (by hostname only — not full URLs)
- Timestamps for display purposes (e.g. "updated 3 mins ago")
This data exists solely to show you your own stats in the extension popup. That's it.
What We Don't Do
- We do not transmit any data to any server
- We do not have a server
- We do not use analytics, crash reporting, or telemetry
- We do not sell, share, or monetise any information
- We do not read page content — only scroll position
- We do not track full URLs, only hostnames (e.g.
reddit.com)
- We do not require an account or any personal information
Permissions Explained
Doom Scroller requests the following Chrome permissions:
- storage — to save your scroll stats locally on your device
- scripting + tabs — to inject the scroll-tracking script into pages you visit when the extension is first installed
None of these permissions are used to access, read, or transmit your browsing data.
Data Retention
Daily and weekly data older than 30 days is automatically deleted from local storage by the extension itself. You can also manually reset today's data at any time using the Reset button in the popup.
Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored data.
