Extension summary

Broccoli fetches the latest summaries from Terms of Service; Didn't Read (TOS;DR at www.tosdr.org), a user rights initiative to rate and label website terms & privacy policies. Broccoli makes them available to you as you switch between websites.

Broccoli offers these summaries one point at a time, so that you can digest these agreements at your own pace (there's also a succinct overview of all points in a list-view).

"Broccoli" is kind of like terms of service: avoided at all costs, but good for you. ;)

Each time you visit a site with a matching TOS;DR summary, the Broccoli icon will update to show you the number of summarized terms available. Clicking the extension button opens a tray that focuses on a single term of service -- providing links to discussion and sources, and includes an option to review that term.

Broccoli will remind you how many points you have left to review for each service and will periodically check if TOS;DR has updated its summaries.

Features:

  • Nicely formatted, point-by-point descriptions (along with metadata).
  • Option to review a service's points (Is this fair? yes or no) (and download/export or clear all of your reviews).
  • A succinct list-view that provides a quick-look for all points of a website.
  • If a point is updated by TOS;DR, Broccoli will return it to 'un-reviewed' status.
