Frequently Asked Questions

The extension is available for Google Chrome (and Chromium-based browsers like Edge, Brave, Opera) and Mozilla Firefox. Install from the respective extension stores.

All profile data, favorites, notes, tags, and scan results are stored locally on your device using IndexedDB. Nothing is sent to any external server. The only server communication is for account authentication and subscription management.

Browser extensions require a desktop browser. Mobile browsers (Chrome for Android, Safari for iOS) don't support this type of extension. You'll need to use a desktop or laptop computer.

You can scan any kinksters listing page: city/region pages (e.g., /p/united-states/colorado/kinksters) or fetish pages (e.g., /fetishes/bondage/kinksters). The extension detects valid pages automatically and will prompt you if you're on the wrong type of page.

Several reasons this can happen:

• FetLife limits results to 10,000 profiles when browsing locations or fetish profiles. This is not our limit but theirs. You'll see a "reached the end" message.
• Your plan's page limit was reached (free plan: 5 pages). Consider upgrading to a paid plan for higher limits — your support helps fund ongoing updates and improvements to the tool.
• The browser tab was closed or navigated away during the scan.
• A network error interrupted the connection.

If a scan is interrupted, any profiles already captured are saved. The extension recovers interrupted scans automatically on the next startup.

Every username found during a scan is saved to a local tracking database. On future scans, the extension checks each profile against this database. If a username has never been seen before, it's marked as "New" with a rainbow highlight. This persists across sessions — even if you close the browser and scan again days later, it remembers who you've already seen. Using "Clear All Data" will reset this tracking along with everything else (favorites, notes, tags). See below for details on each clear option.

Curious (Free): Scan up to 5 pages, basic gender filters (M/F only), no role filters.

Prowler: Up to 500 pages per scan, all genders, role filters, up to 5 different cities per month.

Dominant: Everything in Prowler plus unlimited cities. Full unrestricted access.

Yes. Use the Export Data button in the extension popup to download a JSON backup file. On the new computer, install the extension, then use Import Data to restore everything — profiles, favorites, notes, tags, and settings.

"Clear Scans" removes scan results and history but keeps your favorites, notes, tags, and the username tracking database (new profile detection still works).

"Clear Notes" removes notes, contacted status, and hidden profiles. Keeps scan results, favorites, tags, and tracking.

"Clear All Data" is a full reset — removes everything including favorites, notes, tags, scan results, and the username tracking database. All profiles will appear as "new" on your next scan since the history of who you've seen is completely erased.

Profile images are fetched from the CDN during the scan and embedded directly into the saved data. If images are missing:

• Make sure you're logged in to the site during the scan so the CDN allows image access.
• Check that the extension has the required permissions (it should prompt you on install).
• Some profiles may not have a profile photo — these will show a placeholder.

If you've tried the above and images still aren't loading, it may be a bug we need to look into. Please submit a bug report with details about your browser, OS, and what you're seeing — it helps us track down and fix the issue faster.

Use our Bug Report form with as much detail as possible — what you were doing, what happened vs. what you expected, and your browser/OS. You can also report bugs directly from the extension popup via the "Report Bug" link.
