Current source scope
What exists now.
- Approved modes are Observe only, Open as normal tab and strictly gated Replace current tab.
- Rules use an explicit local source and destination allowlist plus user-granted origin access.
- Global and per-rule disable remain reversible, with bounded secret-free local diagnostics.
- Authentication, SSO, payment, security, download, print and ambiguous flows fail closed.
Explicit limits
Where it stops.
- Not live, beta, locally accepted, submitted or published.
- Only a provider’s user-triggered window.open opportunity is in scope; ordinary links and browser-internal surfaces are not rewritten.
- Same-tab replacement requires a narrow explicit feature set and rejects risk-classified flows.
- Cross-browser and cross-OS compatibility are not verified.
No public access.
