Compose Enhancer for Gmail reads nothing and sends nothing.
It stores your on/off settings in Chrome's synced extension storage and
each draft's window position locally, and makes zero network requests
of any kind.
What it does
A content script runs on https://mail.google.com/*. It makes
the compose window's title bar a drag handle, so you can move compose
anywhere over Gmail instead of it staying pinned to the corner. While
your cursor is inside Gmail's compose message body, it also intercepts
the Tab key to insert an indent (and
Shift+Tab to remove one) instead of letting Tab move
keyboard focus. Everywhere else in Gmail, Tab behaves exactly as it
always has.
What it accesses
- It does not read the content of your emails, drafts, contacts, or any other Gmail data.
- It does not use OAuth or any Google API. It has no
host_permissions, only a content script matchingmail.google.com, which lets it watch keystrokes and the compose title bar on the page but grants no access to your Google account. - Via the
storagepermission, it keeps your on/off settings (enabled,showComposeButton,focusHalo,backspaceWholeTab,dragCompose) inchrome.storage.sync, Chrome's own synced settings store, so your preferences follow you between devices. It also remembers up to 40 drafts' window positions inchrome.storage.local, which stays on this device only, so reopening a draft puts the compose window back where you left it.
What it never does
- No network requests: no
fetch, no analytics, no telemetry, no remote code of any kind. - No servers. There is nothing on the other end to send data to.
- No selling, sharing, or transferring of data, because none is collected in the first place.
Data retention & deletion
All of it — your synced settings and any remembered draft window positions — is deleted automatically when you uninstall the extension, along with everything else Chrome stored for it.
