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 YouTube's /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.

- (2022-09-24) Ronny: Eine der besten Erweiterungen.
- (2022-08-27) Lucas: Darkmode bekommt immer wieder Probleme, und gleichzeitig sagt das plugin das auch gerade ein fehler aufgetreten ist. Bitte Aktualisiert das mit einem Aupade Bitte :D ansonsten mega coole Erweiterung!!
- (2021-05-10) Neel: better then I imagined but it could use some "editing" you could say
- (2021-02-11) Ian: I don't really understand why you would want this, but its a cool thing to experiment with. I personally only need the quality tab for better quality and its a little confusing for a person only wanting to watch a Youtube video with good quality. however, the fine tuning is also precise and its easy to understand what the addon is going to change, and it (kinda) fits in with the website. ill give it a good rating but if you dont like complicated stuff, this is not for you.
- (2020-11-22) Houston: OK this add on is WAYYY better than I thought it was going to be, I am seriously impressed. Like I don't think the description images really convey all the things it can do. There's TONS of settings/features here and they all actually work too. A lot of extensions are bugged out and janky but this seems like it was made by someone who actually knows what they are doing lol. PLUS this extension is OPEN SOURCE, on github, and only needs access to the modify data *on youtube* - unlike most extensions that want unlimited permission to read/modify data on all websites. Between being open source and only affecting youtube, the risk of this extension being malicious/harmful is incredibly low. You can't say that about most extensions unfortunately........ anyway, I must encourage you to download this. If you're on the fence just download it. Make sure you refresh your page a couple times after you first install it. And try pairing with HueSync if you have philips Hue RGB lights in your room!
