About

### 🛡️ DevTraceShield - Enterprise-Grade DevTools Logging with Privacy First

The professional Chrome DevTools logger that respects your privacy and security.

### 🔒 NEW: ActiveTab Permission Model
Unlike other logging extensions that request broad website access, DevTraceShield uses Chrome's activeTab permission:
• **No automatic monitoring** - Only monitors tabs you explicitly choose
• **Click to enable** - Click the extension icon to start logging on a specific tab
• **Temporary access** - Permissions expire when you close the tab
• **Your privacy protected** - We can't access your browsing data without your action
