How It Works

The extension uses a content script that:

• Monitors the GCP Console page for project changes
• Reads the active project ID from the page DOM
• Applies the user-configured banner color based on the project ID
• Stores color mappings locally using Chrome's storage API

Privacy

This extension does not collect, transmit, or store any user data on external servers. All project-to-color mappings are stored locally on your device. See privacy-policy.html for more details.

Permissions

• Storage: Used to store project-to-color mappings locally

The extension uses a content script that runs on GCP Console pages to read the project ID and apply banner colors. This is declared in the manifest and does not require additional host permissions.
