Updates to Termsy!
From the time Termsy was launched, I've made a lot of small updates to the extension.
Thought I'll share them here.
It now has a quick answers tab, that helps you understand terms in plain English. Simple yes/no answers to things that actually matter: who owns your data, auto-renewal, cancellation fees, account termination, binding arbitration, and whether you can sue. These are color coded as well, green for user-favourable and red for now
It also has a dark patterns tab, which is still in beta, but helps you understand if there are any dark patterns used on the page (things like a urgency timer, hidden opt-outs, confirmshaming, hidden costs and more)
Termsy icon on the extension bar has improved, it's greyed out by default but if you land on a ToS page, privacy policy or sign-up pages, it lights up.
All of this comes with zero extra permissions.
However, I am planning to make Termsy more proactive.
So that it's ready when you need it, instead of you having to hunt for it, or remembering to use it.
This means Termsy would ask for some more permissions from next version onwards,
but it would serve a better user experience.
(Btw, we were #2 product of the week for user experience, so that does matter a lot to me!)
So, go ahead, download Termsy today!
