How to prevent elements from being tracked by MagicBrowse

Learn how to exclude sensitive page elements from MagicBrowse tracking.

MagicBrowse is designed with privacy in mind and automatically hides form inputs. If your page displays sensitive information outside standard inputs, you can add an HTML attribute to prevent those elements from being tracked.

Exclude an HTML element

Add the data-browsing-ignore attribute to any element that should be ignored by MagicBrowse.

Before excluding the sensitive value:

<html>
  <p>Welcome to Acme Inc.</p>
  <p>Here is your password: VERY_SENSITIVE_DATA</p>
</html>

After adding the attribute:

<html>
  <p>Welcome to Acme Inc.</p>
  <p data-browsing-ignore>Here is your password: VERY_SENSITIVE_DATA</p>
</html>

MagicBrowse will ignore the element marked with data-browsing-ignore.

Use it for sensitive content

Add this attribute anywhere your page may render private information that should not appear in browsing assistance.

Common examples include:

Account secrets → API keys, recovery codes, or temporary passwords
Personal data → sensitive profile fields or private identifiers
Payment context → payment references or billing details that are not needed for support
Internal values → backend IDs, debug output, or private operational data

Never display raw secrets in your frontend unless absolutely necessary. data-browsing-ignore helps protect browsing assistance, but your application should still avoid rendering sensitive data whenever possible.
