FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I see localStorage / sessionStorage values?
StashView injects a script into the active tab to read storage. This requires the page to be a regular HTTP/HTTPS page — it will not work on chrome://, chrome-extension://, or the Chrome Web Store (chromewebstore.google.com) due to browser security restrictions. Try it on any normal website.
Why is a cookie greyed out and not editable?
Cookies flagged as HttpOnly cannot be read or written by JavaScript — this is an intentional browser security feature. StashView shows these cookies but correctly disables editing to respect the flag. This behaviour cannot be overridden.
I don't see any IndexedDB databases. Why?
indexedDB.databases() is the API used to list databases. Some older browser versions don't support it. Also, databases created in incognito windows are not accessible from a regular popup. Make sure you're on a standard tab and that the site actually uses IndexedDB.
Does StashView work in Incognito mode?
By default Chrome extensions do not run in Incognito. You can enable it manually: go to chrome://extensions, find StashView, click Details, and enable Allow in Incognito. Note that storage in Incognito is isolated and cleared when the window closes.
Does StashView send any of my data anywhere?
No. StashView contains zero network calls. There are no analytics, no telemetry, no CDN resources, no remote servers of any kind. Everything runs locally inside your browser. The full source is on GitHub so you can verify this yourself.
How do I report a bug or request a feature?
Open an issue on GitHub at github.com/stormdotcom. Please include the Chrome version, the website URL (if reproducible), and a description of what you expected vs. what happened.
Is StashView available for Firefox?
A Firefox build is included in the source repository and the build script generates a stashview-firefox-v*.zip file. Firefox AMO submission is planned. In the meantime you can load it as a temporary add-on via about:debugging.
How do I rebuild from source?
Clone the repository, install the sass CLI (npm i -g sass), then run:

python build.py --target chrome

Load the dist/chrome/ folder as an unpacked extension via chrome://extensions with Developer Mode on. Full instructions are in the README.

About

Made by a developer, for developers

StashView was built by Ajmal Nasumudeen — a software developer who got tired of digging through the DevTools Application panel every time he needed to check a token or clear a stale cache entry. The goal was a zero-friction, privacy-respecting tool that respects your workflow.
