// capabilities

An entire competitive intelligence platform. Inside your browser.

Most tech-profilers are SaaS dashboards with rate limits. TechStacker is an extension. Open DevTools-grade telemetry, an IndexedDB-powered catalog, and CSV/webhook export — all without a server.

Real-time Vendor Detection

Every network request, every inline script, every global window object — checked against 4,000+ vendor signatures in <1ms. FIFO-cached regex, sub-millisecond match times.

MV3 webRequest

8-store IndexedDB Engine

Sites, scripts, connections, vendors, custom fields, snapshots, verticals, site-verticals. Yours. Local. Queryable. Never uploaded without explicit opt-in.

Zero data egress

Vendor Lifecycle Tracking

See exactly when a competitor added a CDP, deprecated a chat widget, or swapped payment processors. Vendor changes log with timestamps, per-domain.

Temporal diff

Industry Vertical Classifier

// questions

Frequently asked.

Does TechStacker send my browsing data anywhere?
No. By default, the extension does not transmit anything off your machine. All captured telemetry is stored in your local IndexedDB. The only network calls are (a) optional cloud definition sync if you opt in with a Pro license, and (b) license validation with Stripe. We have no analytics on the extension itself.
What permissions does TechStacker require and why?
We declare the minimum needed to do the job: webRequest (read completed requests to identify vendors), storage (the IndexedDB engine), tabs (tab context for per-site scans), and scripting (DOM inspection for inline scripts). Host permissions cover all URLs so the extension can detect vendors on any site. We never write data back or modify page content.
Will this slow down my browser?
No. Captures are batched, FIFO-cached, and committed to IndexedDB in optimized flushes. The MV3 service worker is throttled and rate-limited (default 500 resources/page, configurable). On an M-series Mac with 100 tabs open, we measured <0.5% CPU overhead in our 28-test Playwright benchmark suite.
How is TechStacker different from Wappalyzer or BuiltWith?
BuiltWith is a $30k/year SaaS that scans from its own crawler. Wappalyzer is similar. TechStacker runs inside your browser, sees what you see, including authenticated and authenticated-only content. It’s also free, open to custom vendors, and exports to CSV/JSON without a quota.
Can I use it for compliance audits?
Yes. Many users run TechStacker in production QA to verify their own sites don’t ship rogue trackers. The webhook sync feeds a SQLite/Postgres pipeline that integrates with most SIEM and compliance tooling.
Does it work in incognito?
Yes — but only if you explicitly allow it in chrome://extensions. Even then, you control whether incognito scans are stored, anonymized, or discarded entirely.
Can I get a refund?
Yes — within 7 days of purchase, no questions asked. See our refund policy for the exact terms.
