Let's Pointie 제작자: Pointie Canada

Pointie is a free cashback & loyalty-points comparison extension for Canadian online shoppers. It compares earning rates from Rakuten, Aeroplan, Air Miles, and Great Canadian Rebates (GCR) on 1,200+ Canadian retailers. No signup, no login, no PII collected.

HOW TO TEST
Pointie matches the URL bar's hostname (without "www.") against an internal store list, so the popup appears automatically on these recommended retailers:
• https://amazon.ca (Aeroplan, Air Miles, Rakuten)
• https://bestbuy.ca (GCR, Aeroplan, Air Miles, Rakuten)
• https://walmart.ca (GCR, Aeroplan, Air Miles, Rakuten)
• https://staples.ca (GCR, Air Miles, Rakuten)
• https://www.apple.com (Aeroplan, Air Miles, Rakuten)

Then:
1. Click "Collect" → redirected to that provider's affiliate page.
2. "Offer History" → 60-day chart of historical earn rates per provider.
3. 🌐 → 10-language picker.
4. "Snooze for 2 hours" → suppresses popup on the current tab for 2h.

PERMISSIONS
• declarativeNetRequest — rewrites request paths for Snooze. No traffic read or modified.
• storage — stores selected UI language + local cache of public offer JSON.

DATA / PRIVACY
No accounts. No PII ever collected or transmitted. Anonymous Firebase Measurement Protocol analytics with a random per-install client_id (cryptographic GUID, not tied to user identity). Three events:
• STORE — popup activation. Payload: { client_id, domain }.
• ACTIVATED — Collect button click. Payload: { client_id, provider }. No domain.
• SNOOZE — snooze action. Payload: { client_id, domain }.

Manifest declares this via browser_specific_settings.gecko.data_collection_permissions:
• required: ["browsingActivity"] — domain (visible in install prompt)
• optional: ["technicalAndInteraction"] — click/usage (user opt-in)
