This Chrome extension ("the extension") is designed to add a custom control bar to YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels videos. It is privacy-respecting by design.
Nothing. The extension does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. We do not run any analytics. We do not have a server.
The extension stores your preferences in the browser's
chrome.storage.sync area:
- Whether the extension is enabled.
- The toggles you set in the popup (always-show controls, hide title, hide default controls, arrow-key volume, show speed button, remember speed, auto-jump to next, stop looping).
- Your chosen interface language.
- Your last playback speed (only if "Remember speed" is on).
These values are stored under your Google account by Chrome and roam
with you between devices. They are never sent to us; we have no servers
or databases. You can clear them at any time by removing the extension
or by visiting chrome://settings/syncSetup.
- storage — needed to remember your popup choices.
- scripting — needed to inject the control bar into already-open YouTube and Instagram tabs immediately after install or update, so you don't have to reload them.
- host permissions for
*://*.youtube.com/*and*://*.instagram.com/*— needed because the extension only adds a player overlay on these two domains. The extension does not run on any other page.
We do not share data with any third party because we do not collect data. The extension does not contact any external server.
The extension does not load or execute any remote JavaScript or Wasm. All code shipped in the package is local and is what Chrome Web Store reviewers can inspect.
The extension does not target children under 13 and does not intentionally collect any data from them.
If this policy ever changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and publish the new version at the same URL.
If you have any questions, please open an issue on the project's repository (linked from the Chrome Web Store listing).
