    description
    IDCrawl.com is a free people search engine that organizes social media information, news, deep web information, phone numbers, email addresses and criminal records to help you find and learn about people easily.
    Who is that person?
    
    You're reading a news article and a name comes up — a politician, an analyst, a CEO quoted in passing. You want to know who they are, but you don't want to stop reading, copy the name, open a new tab, and search.
    
    IDCrawl Name Linker solves this. It automatically detects person names on any web page and turns them into clickable links to their IDCrawl profile. One click, and you know who they are.
    
    🔍 HOW IT WORKS
    - Names are detected automatically as you browse — no setup needed
    - Each name links directly to their IDCrawl people search profile
    - Works on news sites, blogs, Wikipedia, and any text-heavy page
    - A small badge on the extension icon shows how many names were found
    - Click the extension icon to see all names on the page in one list
    - Copy all detected names to your clipboard with one button
    
    📰 FOR JOURNALISTS, RESEARCHERS, AND CURIOUS READERS
    
    JOURNALISTS — Quickly vet sources and people mentioned in a story. The names panel lists everyone in the article. Copy all names with one click.
    
    RESEARCHERS — Cross-reference names across articles without leaving the page. Names are detected in body text, bylines, and photo credits.
    
    CURIOUS READERS — A senator you've never heard of? An analyst quoted in passing? One click and you have context.
    
    🔒 PRIVACY FIRST
    - All name detection runs locally on your device — no data leaves your browser
    - No tracking, no analytics, no telemetry
    - Names are only sent to idcrawl.com when YOU click a link
    - IDCrawl profiles contain only publicly available information
    - Disable on any site with one click, or press Ctrl+Shift+L
    - The extension never runs on email, login pages, or authentication flows
    
    🛡️ ABOUT THE "READ AND CHANGE" PERMISSION
    
    This extension needs access to page text to detect names — that's why Chrome shows "Read and change all your data on all websites" during install. We understand that sounds broad. Here's what actually happens: the extension reads text on the page, identifies likely person names using a local database, and adds a link. No page content is ever sent anywhere. You can verify this — the extension has no network requests except when you click a link.
    
    ✨ FEATURES
    - Automatic name detection powered by a 162,000-surname database
    - One-click lookup on IDCrawl people search
    - "Names on this page" panel with full list and copy-all
    - Per-site enable/disable toggle
    - Keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+L / Cmd+Shift+L)
    - Badge count showing linked names
    - Settings page for managing disabled sites
    - Never runs on email clients or login pages
