How do I use unboxx?

Rest your pointer on a link, or Tab to it. A card shows where the link goes, the trackers it removed and any redirects it followed. Press C to copy the clean link, or Shift C to copy the original.

Does it work on every site?

It works on most websites. Chrome does not let extensions run on some pages, including the Chrome Web Store and browser settings pages. Some websites also refuse preview requests, and the card then says so.

How do I pause it on a site?

Click the unboxx button in your toolbar and use the switch to pause it on the current site, or press Alt Shift U. Paused sites are listed in settings, where you can turn them back on.

Why does a preview show a sign-in page?

unboxx never sends your cookies with its preview requests. Some sites send visitors without cookies to a sign-in page, so the card marks the link as a sign-in page instead of showing the title you would see.

Why is there no live view on some cards?

Live preview is skipped for downloads, links with a warning, logout or unsubscribe links, and pages that could not load. The card shows the site image and page details instead. You can also pick Site image, Screenshot or None in settings.

Is my data safe?

There is no unboxx account or server. Preview requests go from your browser to the link's own site. Your recent history stays in Chrome, and the optional screenshot and safety checks are off until you turn them on. The privacy policy has every detail.

Can I change the shortcuts?

Turn the single-key shortcuts on or off in unboxx settings. The two browser-wide shortcuts, Alt Shift C to copy the clean address of the current page and Alt Shift U to pause, can be changed at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

How do I report a problem?

Open an issue on GitHub. Include the page address, the link you hovered and what happened, so it can be reproduced.
