Zuckless

Privacy policy

Effective July 23, 2026

Zuckless collects nothing. This page is the long version of that sentence.

What the extension stores

One thing: your toggle settings — which blockers are on and which are off. They're kept in Chrome's built-in extension storage (chrome.storage.sync), which lives in your browser and syncs through your own Google account if you have Chrome sync turned on. We never see them. There is no Zuckless server for them to be sent to.

What the extension never does

• No analytics or telemetry of any kind.
• No network requests of its own — it doesn't phone home, because there's no home.
• No reading of your posts, messages, browsing history, or anything else on the pages it runs on.
• No accounts, no sign-in, no email address, nothing to leak.
• No selling of data. There is no data.

Why it asks for the permissions it asks for

• Access to facebook.com, instagram.com, youtube.com, and x.com / twitter.com — needed to apply the hiding rules on those sites. That's the entire job.
• declarativeNetRequest — powers the Facebook home → Marketplace redirect. The browser itself rewrites the request; the extension never sees your traffic.
• storage — saves your toggles, as above.

The hiding itself is done with CSS. The extension reads pages only enough to find what to hide, and the one thing it ever writes to a page is a single data- attribute.

What Zuckless can't do for you

Zuckless changes what you see, not what gets tracked. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and X will still set cookies and collect data exactly as they always have — that's between you and them, governed by their privacy policies, not this one. Zuckless is a sanity tool, not a privacy tool.

This website

zuckless.app is a static page. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and uses no third-party scripts. Our hosting provider (DigitalOcean) keeps standard server logs — IP address, request time, that sort of thing — to keep the site running; we don't use them for anything.

Changes

If any of the above ever changes, this page will be updated and the date at the top will move. Given that the whole point of Zuckless is collecting nothing, don't expect much movement.

Questions

The extension is open source, so you don't have to take our word for any of this — read the code. Questions or concerns: open an issue.
