About

🏃‍♂️‍➡️ Leap over language barriers 🏃‍♂️‍➡️

🔥 Tired of landing on pages in the wrong language? LocaleLeap automatically uses your language when websites offer it! 🔥


🚀 Key features
- Automatic language redirect: switch instantly when a site supports your language.
- “Ask First” mode: prefer a heads-up? Show a quick banner instead of an instant redirect.
- Multiple language preferences: use an ordered list or your browser’s languages; we pick the best available.
- Deep-link switching: stay on the same page path when switching (no forced homepages).
- On-demand control: undo a redirect, pause on specific sites, or exclude pages.
- Clear status: the toolbar icon shows activity (active language badge, paused state, etc.).


🔒 Privacy at a glance
- No page content collected. No keystrokes or form data collected.
- Minimal, pseudonymous telemetry only when a localization check or redirect happens: event type (attempt/success/undo), time, applied locale (e.g., fr), source/destination hostnames (and at most minimal path), extension/browser version, and a random installation ID.
- Query strings are stripped by default (except explicit locale parameters like ?lang=fr).
- EU data residency for analytics.
- No ads. No sale of data. Used solely to improve reliability and quality.
- Opt-out: email [email protected] to disable telemetry for your ID (or uninstall to stop all transmission).
- Retention: raw telemetry 90 days; support emails 24 months.


🛡️ Why these permissions?
- Read and change data on websites you visit (<all_urls>, tabs, webNavigation, webRequest): needed to detect your current page, find the localized counterpart, and perform/track the redirect. We use only URL and language metadata; no page content is collected.
- Inject scripts (scripting): to read language signals (e.g., lang/hreflang) and avoid bad redirects (e.g., soft-404 detection).
- Store settings (storage): saves your preferences locally in the browser.
