Privacy

If you have the toolbar enabled (default), the extension sends a request to our servers on every page you visit (the current URL), and our servers respond with the information shown in the toolbar, e.g., number of saves. You can disable the toolbar entirely, or for certain domains, in which case no request is sent to our servers. Click on the settings icon (cog) in the toolbar for the settings menu.

Requests are not stored in our database. See our privacy notes on https://refind.com/privacy

How it works

Browse the web as you always do. If you land on a page that‘s popular among your friends, a toolbar will appear on the bottom. You can also open the toolbar via the Refind browser button.
