Browser extension
Without help, a browser is a blind spot: hours of “Chrome” with no idea which sites. The Vetroscope extension fixes that by telling the desktop app which site is active and what media is playing.
What it adds
Section titled “What it adds”- Per-site breakdowns — browser time rolls up under real domains with their favicons, instead of one flat browser total. On Firefox (and forks like Zen) and on Windows, the extension is the only way to get per-site data.
- Web media — YouTube, Netflix, Spotify Web, SoundCloud and any other site playing audio or video is tracked passively, with proper titles, down to the individual video or song as a sub-breakdown. Background tabs count too.
- Media links — with Capture media links on (Settings → Activity Tracking), each tracked video or song keeps its link, so you can reopen it from your history.
Private by design
Section titled “Private by design”The extension talks to exactly one thing: the Vetroscope app on your machine. It makes no network requests — nothing is sent to any server, there’s no account, and it does nothing at all when the desktop app isn’t running. Its code ships unminified, so what runs in your browser is readable by anyone who cares to look.
The nudge
Section titled “The nudge”If Vetroscope notices you using a browser without the extension paired, it shows a one-time card — “Install the Vetroscope browser extension for full tracking” — with a Get the extension button for your browser, and a Don’t show again if you’d rather not.
Next: install it for your browser.
