16-Second Tour: Search Badges & 1-Click Toolbar PK

Spot no-login, watermark-free truth on search results before clicking, and launch side-by-side comparisons from the toolbar with zero workspace clutter.

Two low-noise touchpoints (v0.2 upgrade)

Surfaces verifiable facts during selection without ever blocking your workspace canvas.

1. Search Engine Results: Low-Noise Score Strip + Multi-Tool Comparison

When searching for tasks like "remove bg", "compress PDF", or "scanned PDF OCR", a single compact metadata strip per domain shows the dated integer score, server wait, and watermark-free status without cluttering sitelinks. When ≥2 tested tools appear on the same SERP, a quiet top strip lets you compare them side by side.

2. Tool Websites: Zero DOM Injection · Toolbar Badge + Scenario PK Popup

Never injects floating cards into tool websites. The browser toolbar icon displays the task score badge (e.g., 88). Click the icon to inspect quality sub-scores, server wait, free quotas, scenario-filtered alternatives (No login + Clean / Fast & Local), 1-click side-by-side PK, or nominate an unlisted site.

Contract boundaries & automatic index sync

Task-bound integer scores (dynamically synced across all task topics): Every score is bound to a specific task category and its test date. On a multi-capability homepage, a discovered backlog feature, or a withheld capability URL, the badge shows "✓" or "!" with explicit scope notices—never a cross-task average.
Approved public set only: Validated by the publication gate at build time. Withheld reports (insufficient_evidence) are never included.
Daily silent index sync: Ships with a bundled offline snapshot for instant lookup and refreshes once every 24 hours from realtest.org/api/extension-index.json.
Zero private file access: Matches hostnames and feature paths locally in your browser. Never reads uploaded images/PDFs or transmits browsing history.

Installation (Chrome Web Store 1-Click & Offline Package)

Option 1 (Recommended): 1-Click Install via Chrome Web Store — Open the official listing on the Chrome Web Store (RealTest — Tool Benchmark & Alternative Finder) ↗ and click "Add to Chrome" for automatic updates across Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, and Ego. Pin the RealTest icon to your browser toolbar to see task score badges at a glance.
Option 2: Offline Unpacked Package (Developer mode) — If you cannot access the Chrome Web Store, download realtest-extension.zip and unzip it, then open chrome://extensions/ (or edge://extensions/ ), enable "Developer mode", click "Load unpacked", and select the unzipped realtest-extension directory.

Privacy Policy & Permission Disclosures (Chrome Web Store / Edge Compliance)

RealTest Browser Companion operates on a strict local-matching, zero-telemetry, and zero third-party DOM injection model. Below is the complete disclosure of our data handling and Manifest V3 permissions:

Zero personal or browsing data collection: The extension never collects, logs, transmits, or sells your browsing history, search queries, uploaded images/PDF documents, form inputs, cookies, or account credentials, and contains zero third-party analytics or tracking scripts.
activeTab & tabs permissions: Used strictly locally inside your browser to match the active tab hostname and feature path against the bundled/cached benchmark index so the toolbar icon badge (e.g., 86, ✓, or !) and popup panel stay in sync as you switch or navigate tabs. Tab URLs never leave your device.
storage permission: Used exclusively to cache the public benchmark index snapshot (extension-index.json) and its last-fetched timestamp in chrome.storage.local for instant offline lookup.
host_permissions (https://realtest.org/*)： Used solely to perform a read-only GET request once every 24 hours to https://realtest.org/api/extension-index.json (or /zh/api/extension-index.json) to refresh the public benchmark snapshot, without sending any user identifiers or browsing context.
Search engine content scripts: Runs strictly on Google (global & regional domains), Bing, DuckDuckGo, Baidu, Yahoo, Brave, Startpage, Ecosia, Kagi, Yandex, Sogou, and 360 Search result pages to render read-only score pills next to listed tool links. Zero content scripts or CSS are injected into third-party tool websites.
