I used https://screen.studio/ for the showcase videos and for the YouTube video I used a combination of Canva/Eleven Labs + Some manual mouse zooming
I've added edit to explain why that particular statement is in the privacy policy
It's technically not possible from InboxPurge's perspective. As there'd be no email information to share.

"All these processes happen on your browser(device). The extension uses the Gmail API locally on your browser to perform all the necessary tasks. Your emails never get sent to any external server."
Hope you give it a try.
I hope that answers your question.
Edit: Just to add more context. The Google Oauth verification team requires that statement in the privacy policy.
Yes this is the actual working flow. When you click on a sender it should show the emails sent by that sender. Unfortunately, at the moment there's a bug. I'm waiting for a Chrome store review approval for the version with the fix to be published.
I will reply here once it's approved
So the way most email cleaning tools work is:
- Scan your emails for all your subscriptions - via Gmail API - Each subscription has a link, that link is what is used to unsubscribe the link can either be in the email header or email body - This can be a POST request or a GET request, in some complex cases a mail send to unsubscribe - With this link for each mailing list, mass unsubscription can happen
So the main difference here is, other tools do this on the third-party servers. InboxPurge does this on your browser/device (specifically the email scanning bit). Making HTTP requests to the Gmail API from your device.
Yes, it's also possible to build a browser extension that does this on a third-party server.
*Other things happen depending on the email cleaning tool but I've tried to simplify to explain better.
Hope it was helpful.
You can find the list of browser permissions a Chrome extension can request for here: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/manif...
But just in case you use any of these browsers, it works on other chrome-based browsers aside from Chrome: - Brave - Opera - Edge - Opera GX
