Summary
FocusBold is a free Chrome extension that bolds the beginning of words on web pages you choose, to make article reading feel faster. It does not create an account, and it does not upload page content or browsing history.
Data we collect
None remotely. Strength and always-on site preferences are stored only in Chrome’s local extension storage on your device via chrome.storage.
Permissions
- storage — save strength and per-site always-on preferences locally.
- scripting / content scripts — read text in the current page and wrap word prefixes in bold markup in your browser.
- Host access (
http(s)://*/*) — apply the overlay on article pages you visit when you enable FocusBold or mark a site as always-on.
The extension does not use remote code. All scripts ship inside the extension package. Transforming text happens entirely on-device.
Third parties
The extension does not include ads, analytics SDKs, or account backends.
Children
This tool is a general productivity reading aid and is not directed at children under 13.
