IT Configuration Guide
What the WingMarq extension does, what it sends, the permissions it needs, and how to deploy it on managed Chrome and Edge.
What WingMarq does
WingMarq is a Chrome and Edge extension. It compares the address of each HTTPS page with the Marqs (URL patterns) your workspace has set up, and where one matches it shows a small prompt with links to your existing guides. It decides from the page address alone and does not read page content, form data, cookies or anything a user types.
Behaviour by version
Chrome and Edge update extensions automatically, usually within a few days; managed browsers follow your policy. An installation behaves as the version it has until it updates. You can see the installed version on the browser’s extensions page.
| Topic | 1.4.1 and earlier | 1.5.0 and later (current) |
|---|---|---|
| Network requests | app.wingmarq.com, and google-analytics.com (prompt and extension-usage events). | app.wingmarq.com only. |
| Sent when a prompt is shown, opened or dismissed | Event type, Marq ID, the full address of the page (including any query string), time, extension version. Google Analytics also received the event type, Marq ID, the site's domain and a random per-installation ID. | Event type, Marq ID, the site's address only (for example https://app.example.com/), time, extension version. |
| Never sent | Page content, form data, keystrokes, cookies, user identity. | Page content, form data, keystrokes, cookies, user identity. |
| Where the extension keeps data | Workspace key and cached Marqs in extension storage; dismissals in the visited website's own browser storage, under a name that includes the workspace key. | Everything in extension storage. Entries left in websites' storage by older versions are removed the next time a Marq matches a page on that site. |
| Permissions | storage, alarms; site access to all HTTPS sites; a content script on HTTPS pages. | storage, alarms; network access to app.wingmarq.com only; a content script on HTTPS pages. |
| What it adds to pages | An empty WingMarq container on HTTPS pages, the prompt where a Marq matches, and a few CSS custom properties on the page's root element. | The WingMarq prompt, only where a Marq matches; its styles apply only to that element. |
Because the extension has a content script on HTTPS pages, Chrome and Edge show their standard warning that it can read and change data on websites.
WingMarq stores a record of each prompt event per workspace. Since a server update on 2 October 2026, the page address in each new record is only the site’s address (for example https://app.example.com/), whichever extension version sent the event: installations still on 1.4.1 or earlier send the full page address, and the server removes the path and query string before saving the record. Records stored before that update keep the full page addresses they were saved with.
Domains to allow
- app.wingmarq.com — the extension’s configuration and events, and the admin dashboard.
- wingmarq.com — this website and documentation (not needed by the extension).
- Both are HTTPS only.
Deploying on managed browsers
- Chrome extension ID
kicfimmjbjknfegmjcfmbkldkohddnbi, update URLhttps://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx - Edge extension ID
cbmohaklajfeejcccjiikflaocedhbmj, update URLhttps://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx - Use
ExtensionInstallForcelistto install automatically orExtensionInstallAllowlistto let people install it themselves. - To require the current version, set
minimum_version_required: "1.5.0"for WingMarq in theExtensionSettingspolicy.
Each person then connects the extension once by pasting your workspace key in its Options page. The key is shown once when they accept an invite.
Accounts and data storage
Administrators sign in to app.wingmarq.com with Google or an emailed one-time code. People using the extension don’t sign in. Workspace configuration and prompt events are stored in a Supabase project hosted in AWS eu-west-2 (London, United Kingdom). See the privacy policy and security page for details, or contact hello@wingmarq.com.
