The receipts

The invisible, made obvious.

Open any page and Mammoth shows you the breakdown — no jargon, just who reached for your data and what got stopped. A real example from one news article:

9
Advertising
doubleclick.net, criteo.com
6
Analytics
google-analytics, hotjar.com
3
Social
connect.facebook.net
2
Fingerprinting
fingerprintjs.com

How it works

Three steps, all on your machine.

Blocks on arrival

Trackers are stopped before they load, using the browser's own blocking engine. Mammoth never reads the contents of the pages you visit.

Clears the cookies

Third-party tracking cookies get deleted. The first-party ones that keep you logged in stay exactly where they are.

Shows the receipts

A per-site, categorized count of everything blocked — so you can finally see what every page was doing behind your back.

Why you can trust it

Mammoth collects nothing and sends nothing.

No server
Everything runs locally in your browser. There's nothing to phone home to.
No account
Nothing to sign up for. Install it and it works.
No analytics
An ad blocker that tracks you would be a bad joke. Mammoth doesn't.

What Mammoth does

Mammoth blocks advertising, analytics, social, and fingerprinting requests, removes third-party (cross-site) cookies, and shows you a count of what it blocked on each site. All of this happens locally in your browser.

What is stored, and where

The extension stores the following using your browser's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local). This data never leaves your device:

  • Your settings — whether protection is on, whether third-party cookie removal is on.
  • Your allowlist — the domains you mark as trusted.
  • Block counts — running totals, by category, of how many trackers and cookies were blocked.

The extension does not store your browsing history, the contents of pages you visit, the contents of network requests, form data, or any personally identifying information.

What Mammoth can and cannot see

Blocking is performed by the browser's declarativeNetRequest engine using a fixed list of rules. This approach is designed so that the extension cannot read the contents of your network requests. The extension supplies rules; the browser does the blocking.

To attribute blocked items to the correct page and show the right badge count, the extension reads the address (host) of your active tab. This is used only in the moment, in memory, to label the report. It is not logged, stored long-term, or transmitted.

The cookie feature reads cookies only to identify and delete third-party tracking cookies. Cookie contents are never recorded or sent anywhere.

Permissions, and why each is needed

  • declarativeNetRequest — to block ad/tracker requests via rules.
  • declarativeNetRequestFeedback — to count how many requests were blocked, so the popup can show the number.
  • cookies — to detect and delete third-party tracking cookies.
  • storage — to save your settings, allowlist, and counts locally.
  • tabs — to know which site is active so the report and badge are correct.
  • alarms — to refresh block counts periodically.
  • host access (all sites) — blocking and cookie cleanup must work on every site you visit. The extension does not read page content or send any site data anywhere.

Data sharing and sale

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with third parties. We do not use it for advertising, profiling, or creditworthiness. There is nothing to share — no data leaves your device.

Changes

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change, and the new version will ship with the extension.
