Recipe Extractor for Chrome · Last updated July 2026

Recipe Extractor is a Chrome extension that pulls the ingredients and steps out of a recipe webpage into a clean panel. This page explains what data the extension does — and does not — handle.

What the extension does

When you click the toolbar icon on a webpage, the extension reads the content of that page — looking for recipe data in the page's schema.org markup, or in its headings and lists as a fallback — and displays the extracted ingredients and instructions in a panel overlaid on the page.

What data we collect

None. Recipe Extractor does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data, browsing history, or page content. There is no server component — every part of the extraction and display process happens locally, inside your browser, using standard web APIs.

Permissions we use

• activeTab — lets the extension read the page you're currently viewing, but only after you click the toolbar icon. It has no access to your browsing activity otherwise, and no access to other open tabs.
• scripting — lets the extension inject the code that reads the recipe data and draws the results panel, again only when you click the icon.

Third parties

Recipe Extractor does not use analytics, trackers, or any third-party services. The recipe image shown in the panel, if any, is loaded directly from the website you're on, the same as any other image on that page.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date.
