Seek4 - Alternatives to Any Website

Stop searching for "alternatives to..." and let them come to you.
This extension automatically detects the website you are visiting and suggests alternatives helping you find more options in seconds.

Key Features:
* 🔍 Instant Alternative Discovery: View a badge counter on the extension icon whenever alternatives are available for the site you are currently visiting.
* 🧠 AI-Powered Content Search Stumbled upon a niche website not in our database? Use our "Search by Page Content" feature. We analyze the public text and metadata of the current page on-the-fly with our similarity engine to find relevant tools based on the specific topic, not just the URL.
* 🛡️ Privacy by Design: We use a local database to match websites directly in your browser. Your browsing history is never monitored or sent to our servers in the background.
* ⚡ Insights: Get traffic estimations and aggregated review ratings for informational proposes.

How it Works:
1. Browse as usual: The extension checks the domain against a locally stored map on your device to see if alternatives exist.
2. See the Badge: A number appears on the extension icon if matches are found. No data leaves your browser during this check.
3. Click to Reveal: Open the extension to view detailed alternative suggestions. Data is only transmitted when you explicitly click extension icon to search.

Privacy & Data Usage:
We believe in transparency. This extension is built to respect your privacy:
* No Background Tracking: We do not track, record, or store your browsing history.
* Anonymous Usage: We use a random, anonymous unique ID to manage service stability. This ID is not linked to your personal identity, email, or real-world name.
* Data Minimization: We only process the specific URL you are visiting when you actively click the extension to request insights.

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Transparency & Affiliate Disclosure:
To keep this service free, we participate in various affiliate marketing programs.
* User-Initiated: Affiliate links may only displayed within the extension popup after you explicitly click the extension for insights. We never inject links or codes into websites or modify your background browsing.
* Neutral Rankings: Our recommendations are generated by a similarity engine based on software features and categories. Affiliate partnerships do not influence which tools are recommended or how they are ranked.
Permissions Explained:
* activeTab: Used to identify the current website's URL only when you click the extension.
* scripting: Required only for the "Search by Page Content" feature to analyze public text and find relevant tools for website not in our database.
* storage: Used to save a local list of supported domains so we can show you matches without sending your browsing data to a server. And storing your anonymous unique ID.
