Single Purpose

Events Inspector helps developers inspect text/event-stream / Server-Sent Events (SSE) traffic in a dedicated Chrome DevTools panel.

Permissions Justification

debugger

The debugger permission is required to attach the Chrome DevTools Protocol to the currently inspected tab while the Events DevTools panel is open.

This is how the extension receives real-time streaming network events. Chrome's standard DevTools APIs do not provide the same real-time SSE visibility for long-lived streams.

• Attaches only to the currently inspected tab
• Attaches only while the DevTools panel is in use
• Detaches when the panel disconnects
• Does not inject scripts into web pages
• Does not modify page content

storage

The storage permission is used only for local persistence of extension settings and user-defined rules in chrome.storage.local.

Examples include:

• Preserve log preference
• Timeline visibility preference
• Related-event matching mode
• Request preview rules
• Event grouping rules

Captured event payloads are not transmitted to external servers.

Data Usage

• The extension reads streaming event data from the active inspected tab only while the DevTools panel is open.
• Captured data is used locally to render the DevTools UI for the user.
• User settings and user-created rules are stored locally with chrome.storage.local.
• No analytics, telemetry, or tracking.
• No user accounts or authentication.
• No remote data collection.
• No sale or transfer of user data.
• No remote code is loaded or executed; all executable code is bundled with the extension package.
