Boil It Down is a Chrome extension that helps users extract and view recipes in a clean, distraction-free format. We are committed to protecting your privacy.
Boil It Down does NOT collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. All data remains local to your browser.
Saved Recipes: Recipes you choose to save are stored in your browser's local storage only
User Preferences: Settings like dark mode, auto-declutter, and language preferences
Translation Cache: Translated recipe text to improve performance and reduce API calls
What We DON'T Collect
NO personal information
NO browsing history
NO data sent to external servers (except translation APIs when you choose to translate)
NO analytics or tracking
NO cookies
When you use the translation feature, recipe text is sent to one of these free translation services: - MyMemory Translation API (default): Text is translated using MyMemory's public API - LibreTranslate: Open-source translation service
These services process only the recipe text you choose to translate. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.
activeTab: Required to detect recipe pages and display decluttered content
storage: Required to save your preferences and cached recipes locally in your browser
scripting: Required to inject the decluttered recipe view into web pages
host_permissions (translation APIs): Required only when you use the translation feature
All data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's built-in storage API. No data is transmitted to our servers because we don't have any servers.
You can clear all saved recipes at any time from the extension settings
You can clear translation cache from the extension settings
Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored data
Boil It Down does not collect any information from anyone, including children under 13.
