Burger — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-20

TL;DR

Burger does not collect, transmit, store on remote servers, or sell any data about you, the pages you visit, or the forms you interact with. Everything it does happens locally in your browser.

What Burger sees

Burger is a Chrome extension that reorders the options inside <select> and ARIA listbox elements so that “United States” appears at the top of country dropdowns and “USD” appears at the top of currency dropdowns. To do that, it reads:

• The structure and attributes of dropdown elements on pages you load (option labels, values, name, id, ARIA roles, labels).
• For ARIA comboboxes, whether a filter is active — which may include reading the combobox’s current typed text — so Burger can avoid reordering while you are searching. That text is never stored or transmitted.

This reading happens entirely inside your browser. No page content, form data, URL, or option text is sent anywhere.

What Burger stores

Burger uses chrome.storage.local — your browser’s own per-extension storage — to remember:

• Your master enable/disable preference.
• Whether country reordering is on.
• Whether currency reordering is on.
• Whether the developer debug overlay is on.
• A list of hostnames where you’ve toggled Burger off via the popup.

Per-site disable is keyed by each frame’s own hostname. Turning Burger off on a parent page does not automatically disable it inside a cross-origin iframe (for example an embedded payment or identity form on another domain).

This data lives on your device. It is not synced, not transmitted, not sold, and not shared with any third party.

What Burger does NOT do

• It does not auto-select any option. It only changes the visual order of options.
• It does not submit forms.
• It does not spoof your location, identity, citizenship, residency, or any other attribute.
• It does not modify dropdowns whose field label indicates a legally meaningful selection (citizenship, country of birth, country of incorporation, tax residency, passport issuing country, etc.).
• It does not change which option is selected, and it does not read unrelated form fields. It only inspects dropdown option lists (and, when needed, combobox filter text as described above).
• It does not load remote code. All scripts ship inside the extension package.
• It does not use analytics, telemetry, or crash reporting.
• It does not make network requests at all.

Permissions

• storage — to remember your settings, locally.
• <all_urls> host access — so the content script can run on the pages where dropdowns live. The script reads dropdown structure only; it does not exfiltrate any page content.
