Data Watchdog shows you exactly what every website tries to access: camera, microphone, location, clipboard, screen sharing, cookies, trackers, and fingerprinting attempts. Use 22 per site controls, or a Permissive, Balanced, or Strict preset. Protections apply before page scripts execute, so nothing sneaks through first. No account, no server, no analytics or telemetry. Bulk edit and import/export make it easy to manage settings across many sites.

Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and basic permission toggles are straightforward, but intercepting browser APIs reliably before any target page script executes requires specialized browser extension architecture.
What it would actually take: The core component is a Manifest V3 browser extension utilizing dynamic declarativeNetRequest rules and content scripts injected at `document_start` into the `MAIN` world. To block fingerprinting and hardware access before third-party scripts run, it must monkey-patch prototype objects (`navigator.mediaDevices`, `navigator.clipboard`, `CanvasRenderingContext2D`) without breaking legit site functionality. This requires deep browser security and JavaScript prototype pollution/isolation expertise.
