Privacy & Security

This extension only runs on tabs that start with the url https://www.youtube.com. The extension will only activate the ambient light effect on YouTubes /watch page

The only requests being sent are crash reports. (But crash reports can be turned off.) No other requests are sent to any webserver, website or api. But in case a crash occurs the report is sent to Sentry.io and will always be deleted after 30 days. Because the only goal of these crash reports is to fix the crash.
