v1.0.1 — Early Access (Manual Install)

Hey folks 👋 — this is the first public Early Access cut of PrivacyGuard. Chrome Web Store review is still in progress, so install is manual for the moment. It takes about two minutes.

What's in this release

  • PrivacyGuard-v1.0.1.zip — the Chrome extension. This is the one most people want.
  • macOS Apple Silicon native host (.pkg) — installs the local helper that powers on-device PII detection. Unsigned for Early Access, so macOS will need a small nudge to open it (steps below).
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — checksums, if you'd like to verify your downloads.
  • bundle-manifest.json — manifest describing everything in this bundle.
  • native-host tarball (.tar.gz) — the prebuilt native host used by our CI. Most users can safely ignore this; it's here for transparency and for folks running their own automation.

Install the extension (Chrome / Edge / Brave)

  1. Download PrivacyGuard-v1.0.1.zip from the Assets section below and unzip it somewhere you won't accidentally delete (the extension loads from this folder).
  2. Open chrome://extensions in your browser.
  3. Toggle Developer mode on (top-right corner).
  4. Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder.
  5. PrivacyGuard should now appear in your extensions list. Pin it to your toolbar so you can see it working.

Install the macOS native host (Apple Silicon)

  1. Double-click the .pkg from this release.
  2. Because the build isn't notarized yet, macOS will block it on first launch. Right-click the file → Open → Open anyway. (Or allow it from System Settings → Privacy & Security.)
  3. Run through the installer.
  4. Restart your browser so the extension can find the host.

Heads up: this Early Access build is Apple Silicon only. Intel Mac, Windows, and Linux builds are coming in a follow-up release.

Heads up if you tried an earlier asset

The extension zip in this release was rebuilt after our initial Web Store submission flagged a development-only field in the manifest. If you grabbed a previous file, please use PrivacyGuard-v1.0.1.zip from this release — it's the clean, store-ready build.

Verifying downloads (optional)

If you'd like to confirm integrity, run:

shasum -a 256 PrivacyGuard-v1.0.1.zip

…and compare against the corresponding line in SHA256SUMS.txt.
