Turn marketing claims into evidence.
Three local-first browser extensions that measure what websites claim against what they do. Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and Firefox. No accounts. No telemetry. No agents. No cloud.
| Extension | Question it answers |
|---|---|
| RejectWatch | Did “Reject All” actually reject tracking? |
| SponsorReveal | Is this YouTube video / page quietly monetized via affiliates? |
| OutboundTruth | Does this “privacy-first / no tracking” site phone home anyway? |
Web installer: cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/Sqlace/unspin@gh-pages/
(also: sqlace.github.io/unspin once Pages finishes warming up)
Detects your browser (Chrome / Edge / Brave / Opera / Firefox) and downloads the matching packages.
Terminal (auto-extract + open extensions page):
# Windows
irm https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/Sqlace/unspin@gh-pages/install.ps1 | iex# macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/Sqlace/unspin@gh-pages/install.sh | bash
# Firefox:
curl -fsSL https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/Sqlace/unspin@gh-pages/install.sh | bash -s firefoxBrowsers block silent extension installs for security — the installer downloads/extracts and opens the extensions page; you click Load unpacked (Chromium) or Load Temporary Add-on (Firefox) once per extension.
- Cookie consent theater is everywhere — few tools produce a shareable Lie Score.
- Princeton/Chicago’s AdIntuition (2018–2020) proved YouTube affiliate disclosure matters — then went stale. SponsorReveal is a modern Manifest V3 revival (zero research telemetry).
- Sites love claiming “100% local / we don’t track you.” OutboundTruth turns that into an observed outbound report.
Inspired in part by ideas from Divide-By-0/ideas-for-projects-people-would-use.

Dev mode:
pnpm dev:reject-watch
pnpm --filter @unspin/reject-watch run dev:firefoxDetects consent banners, snapshots cookies, watches tracker requests after you click reject (or run Audit now), then scores 0–100 (higher = more likely ignored). Copy a Markdown report for HN/Twitter.
Scans YouTube descriptions (and general pages) for affiliate domains, tag= / click-IDs, UTMs, and promo-code patterns. Shows an on-page banner + popup evidence list.
Observes third-party resource requests (PerformanceObserver + DOM), classifies them against a local tracker catalog, and shows a privacy-claim consistency score. Observes only — never blocks.
- All processing is on-device.
- Storage uses session storage with local fallback.
- No analytics SDKs, no remote config, no accounts.
- See docs/privacy.md.
