The Short Version
I built this extension to watch videos on my second monitor, not to watch you. No data collection, no tracking, no analytics. Everything happens locally on your device.
Why the "Read and change data" permission?
This permission is required to inject the control overlay (the Restore, Pin, and Opacity buttons) into the popout window. Chrome classifies any extension that adds buttons to a page as "changing data," even if it's just a UI layer. The extension does not read your passwords, forms, or history.
What about the "This tab is being shared" icon?
This is a technical trick to enable Windowed Fullscreen. We tell Chrome the tab is being "captured" to trick the browser into keeping the video contained within the window instead of taking over your screen. The video/audio stream never leaves your computer.
Where are settings stored?
Your preferences (window size, position, toggles) are saved to Chrome's local storage on your machine. This data is not synced to any server.
Helper App Privacy
The optional Windows helper application does not collect data. It receives simple commands from the extension (e.g., "pin this window"), executes them via standard Windows APIs, and exits. It does not access the internet.
