Submit Guard How It Works
Last updated
Describe the Submit Guard behaviour model without implying remote processing or SynapseWorks server involvement.
Users configuring Submit Guard
Security reviewers checking extension behaviour
Support teams diagnosing missed confirmations
Submit Guard installed
Submit Guard enabled for the target site
Basic understanding of the site's form workflow
Submit Guard checks whether the current site is enabled in your local settings.
If enabled, the extension runs local browser logic on that page.
Standard mode watches for native HTML form submissions.
Advanced mode can also watch for submit-like clicks in modern web apps.
When a guarded action is detected, Submit Guard shows a confirmation step before the action proceeds.
If you confirm, the submission continues.
If you cancel, the submission is stopped.
Runs inside the browser extension environment
Uses local browser APIs and locally stored settings
Does not call a SynapseWorks backend
Does not require a SynapseWorks account
Does not send form contents to SynapseWorks
Use standard mode first. It is intended for native HTML form submissions.
Use advanced mode when a modern web app uses buttons or scripts that behave like form submission without using a native form submit event.
Some web apps intercept or replace browser events in ways that require advanced mode.
Some browser pages and extension-restricted URLs cannot be guarded by normal extension scripts.
Confirmation appears only on sites where Submit Guard is enabled.
