No. Clipboard Manager is built with privacy as the top priority. All your clipboard data is stored locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local or chrome.storage.sync (if enabled).
Nothing is ever sent to any server—we do not collect, transmit, or sell any data.

Yes! You can easily toggle clipboard tracking on or off from the extension’s Options page. When disabled, the extension will stop recording anything you copy.

The default blacklist includes commonly sensitive domains, such as:

  • Banking websites
  • Email providers
  • Payment gateways
  • Corporate login pages

This helps protect you from accidentally saving private or financial information.

It works on most websites, but there are a few exceptions:

  • Secure Chrome pages like chrome://extensions/ or browser settings
  • Some restricted or sandboxed environments (e.g., inside iFrames or PWAs)

Also, if a site is on your blacklist, the extension will skip tracking there.

Only if you explicitly enable it for Incognito:

  1. Go to chrome://extensions/
  2. Find Clipboard Manager
  3. Click Details
  4. Enable “Allow in Incognito”

Note: Data stored in Incognito is still saved locally unless you clear it.

Not in the current version. However, we’re considering this feature for future updates. Let us know if you’d like this!

Yes! If you’ve installed from the Chrome Web Store, you can:

  • Leave a review
  • Report issues via the store
  • Or contact us directly if your extension has support links.

We’re always looking for useful feedback and suggestions!

By default, Clipboard Manager stores up to 50 of your most recent clipboard entries.

You can change this limit (e.g., 100, 200) from the Options page.

We’ve also set a reasonable minimum and maximum range to avoid performance issues (e.g., 10 to 500).

What is the blacklist feature and how does it work?
The blacklist lets you exclude specific domains (like banking or email websites) where clipboard monitoring will be disabled for your privacy.

You can:

  • Add your own domains to the blacklist (e.g., mybank.com)
  • View or edit the default blacklist

When you’re on a blacklisted domain, the extension will ignore all copied text from that site.

Go to the Popup or Options page and click “Clear Clipboard History”.

This will immediately delete all stored clipboard data from your browser.

No. Clipboard Manager only captures plain text content (including URL and timestamp). It does not store:

  • Images
  • File data
  • HTML formatting

Here’s a breakdown of the permissions and their purposes:

  • storage – To save clipboard history locally in your browser so it’s never sent to any server.
  • activeTab – To access the current tab’s URL and associate copied text with its source.
  • scripting / content_scripts – To detect when copy events happen on web pages.
  • tabs – To retrieve the tab’s title or other metadata for a better user experience.
  • host_permissions (e.g., <all_urls>) – To allow the extension to monitor clipboard activity across all websites you visit.

We only request the minimum necessary permissions to deliver the core features of the extension while keeping your privacy intact.

Try this:

  1. Visit a non-blacklisted site (like example.com)
  2. Copy some text
  3. Click the extension icon
  4. You should see the copied text along with the URL and timestamp

If nothing appears, make sure tracking is enabled and the site isn’t blacklisted.
