What data does Pluralsight see?
The Pluralsight Chrome Extension only collects search queries from users on the extension to give more optimized search results.
Individually identifiable information is randomized. No browsing activity or identifiable user data is collected from the extension.
Using the extension
To use the extension in the Chrome browser, click the Pluralsight icon to the right of the address bar. As you type a query, the extension will return recommendations. There are two tabs you can view:
Content will show you a list of Video courses, Paths, Projects, and Interactive courses that match your search terms.
Clips will show you specific clips from video courses that match your search terms.
Tip: If you’re looking for general information about a topic or want to dive into a new skill, Content is the right tab for you. If you’re looking for a very specific piece of information, try the Clips tab.
When you find a piece of content that interests you, click it to open a new tab that will take you that content on the Pluralsight Skills platform.
More ways to use the extension
With the extension, you can also search for Pluralsight directly from Stack Overflow or from a text selection on a webpage.
Search from Stack Overflow
If you’re on an article on Stack Overflow, you’ll see a message below the article title that says Check Pluralsight for related content. If you click the content link, the Stack Overflow article will populate as a search term in a Pluralsight search page.
Search from text
You can also search for Pluralsight content by selecting text you see in your Chrome browser and then right-clicking on it.
Let’s say you’d like to learn more about Javascript. Just highlight Javascript on the website, right-click, then click Search Pluralsight for “Javascript.” "Javascript" will then populate as a search term in a Pluralsight search page.
If you’re looking for information about managing Chrome extensions in general, see Google’s detailed instructions (external site, opens in new tab).
