Settings
Every option on the extension's Settings page, its storage key, type, range and default.
Open Settings from the sidebar or the extension’s options page. Settings are stored in storage.local under vx:settings, in this browser profile only, and are kept when you sign out.
| Option | Key | Type and range | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prefetch on page load | prefetchOnLoad |
boolean | false |
Look up every identifier as each page loads. Spends one request per identifier per page. |
| Batch size | sidebarBatchSize |
integer 1 to 200 | 25 |
Identifiers the sidebar fetches per batch |
| Concurrent requests | concurrency |
integer 1 to 16 | 4 |
Parallel lookups. Drops to 1 when fewer than 50 requests remain today. |
| Open automatically when identifiers are found | autoOpenSidebar |
boolean | false |
Firefox only. On Chromium a side panel cannot open without a click, so only the toolbar badge count is shown. |
| Only run on sites I allow | allowlistMode |
boolean | false |
Switches the site list from a block list to an allow list |
| Site list | disabledOrigins or allowedOrigins |
list of origins | empty | See below |
Sites
The list holds origins, typed exactly as scheme://host[:port] with no path, for example https://github.com. The content script compares the page’s location.origin with the list before it does anything.
| Mode | Runs on |
|---|---|
| Block list (default) | Every page except origins in disabledOrigins |
| Allow list (Only run on sites I allow) | Only origins in allowedOrigins. With an empty list, nowhere. |
*.vulnetix.com and vulnetix.com are always excluded by the manifest, whatever the list says. A change applies the next time a page loads.
Cache
Settings > Cache shows the entry count and size on disk, with Clear to remove every cached summary. See Quota and cache.
Shortcut
The open-sidebar command defaults to Alt+Shift+V. Change it in chrome://extensions/shortcuts (Chromium) or Manage Extension Shortcuts under about:addons (Firefox).
