Jumpbar for Kagi uses a build script to produce browser-specific packages:
./build.shThis creates:
dist/chrome/: Usesservice_workerin the manifestdist/firefox/: Usesscriptsin the manifest withbrowser_specific_settingsfor Gecko
The JavaScript is identical across both builds. Only the manifest.json differs.
Jumpbar for Kagi requests a few permissions in the manifest.json file.
storage allows the extension to save your preferences (icon style, hover color, open in new tab, and service visibility) using the browser's built-in extension storage.
kagi.com (host permission) allows the extension to add the jumpbar buttons to the Kagi homepage.
Jumpbar for Kagi runs completely locally in your browser. The only data it stores are your settings preferences, which are kept in your browser's extension storage. It does not collect any analytics, it does not store any information about your tabs or browser history, it does not send any data back for processing or analysis. Your data is yours and yours alone.
