Browser Stickies is a Chrome extension that lets you place sticky note reminders on any web page. Your notes stay where you put them and reappear whenever you revisit the page.
Browser Stickies stores the following data in your Chrome profile's built-in sync storage (chrome.storage.sync):
- Sticky note text — the content you type into each note
- Position — the x/y coordinates where you placed each note on the page
- URL — the web page address where each note was created (with query parameters and hash fragments stripped)
- Timestamps — when each note was created
This data is stored entirely within your Chrome profile. If you are signed into Chrome with sync enabled, Chrome may sync this data across your devices — this is standard Chrome sync behavior and is not controlled by Browser Stickies.
- No analytics or telemetry
- No personal information
- No browsing history
- No cookies or tracking
- No data is sent to any external server
- No data is sold or shared with any third party
- storage — Saves your sticky notes so they persist between browser sessions
- activeTab — Allows the popup to communicate with the current tab when adding a new sticky
- contextMenus — Provides the right-click "Add Sticky Here" menu option
- Content script on all URLs — The extension must run on every page so you can place sticky notes on any website you visit. The content script only reads
window.location.hrefto identify the current page and renders your saved notes.
You can delete any sticky note at any time by clicking the x button on the note or from the extension popup. Uninstalling the extension removes all stored data from your Chrome profile.
