Settings

Web Maker comes with a whole bunch of different settings to customize the development environment according to your needs. You can access the settings by clicking the gear icon in the bottom right of the screen.

At rare times, you might find yourself in a situation where you are not able to access the settings view from the user interface, may be due to some bug. And you find that toggling a specific setting can stop that bug from happening. For such scenarios there is a provision to override specific settings from the URL itself by appending query parameters.

Say, you want to turn off autoPreview (which runs your code automatically on fresh launch and then on subsequent changes). You can do so by opening the following URL:

https://webmaker.app/create?settings=autoPreview:false

Say, you want to turn off monaco editor also:

https://webmaker.app/create?settings=autoPreview:false,isMonacoEditorOn:false

Note: Currently overrides work only for autoPreview and isMonacoEditorOn options. More coming soon.

Web Maker needs the following permissions to work with full capabilities. In words of Chrome extensions:

Read & change all your data on the websites that you visit - Worry not. This is just required for the new tab replacement feature where Web Maker shows up only if the new tab url is chrome://newtab/. Nothing is read, stored or changed.

Web Maker does not track any user specific data. It uses Google Analytics to track aggregated events to improve user experience based on what features are used more.
