Installation Steps

Initial Configuration

Upon first use, the extension will request minimal permissions focused on interacting with Wplace.live. These permissions are necessary to provide overlays and coordinate with the canvas, but no personal data is collected.

Performance and Security

The extension is designed with security as a priority. It operates only when you're on the Wplace site and does not track your browsing behavior elsewhere. Data is stored locally in your browser, and no information is transmitted to external servers except for the sharing functionality you explicitly choose to use.

Community Impact and Success Stories
