Extension Settings

The Crosscheck extension settings let you customize link privacy, on-page UI elements, DevTools recording behavior, and Instant Replay preferences. All settings are synced to your account and apply across devices.

How to Access Settings

Settings Overview

Link Privacy

The Link Privacy setting controls the default visibility for every new check you create. You can set it to Public or Private.

Floating Icon

When enabled, a small draggable Crosscheck icon appears on every web page you visit. Clicking it opens the extension popup for quick access to capture actions. You can drag it to any position on the page. Toggle this setting to Show or Hide the icon.

Open Checks in New Tab

When this toggle is enabled, Crosscheck automatically opens the newly created check link in a new browser tab immediately after a capture is saved. This is useful when you want to quickly review, annotate, or share a check right after creating it.

DevTools Recording

Toggle this setting to control whether Crosscheck captures developer context alongside your checks. When enabled, the extension records:

• Console logs — errors, warnings, info, and log messages from the browser console.
• Network requests — HTTP requests with URL, method, status code, and timing.
• User actions — clicks, keypresses, and page navigations.
• Performance metrics — page load timing and runtime performance data.

Recording Toolbar

During a screen recording, Crosscheck displays a floating toolbar with controls such as pause, stop, and a recording timer. Toggle this setting to show or hide the toolbar. When hidden, you can still control recordings using keyboard shortcuts.

Instant Replay

Instant Replay continuously buffers recent page activity so you can save it after something unexpected happens. The settings panel provides three controls for Instant Replay:

Global Toggle

Turn Instant Replay on or off globally. When disabled, the extension does not buffer any page activity regardless of per-site settings.

Replay Duration

Choose how much activity to keep in the replay buffer. Available options are 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 minutes. A longer buffer captures more context but uses slightly more memory.

Enabled Websites

Instead of running Instant Replay on every website, you can enable it only on specific URLs. Add the URLs of your staging environments, development servers, or any sites where you want the replay buffer active. Remove a URL to stop buffering on that site.
