Privacy Practices & Principles

AP Enhancer for YouTube™ is built with absolute privacy as a core principle. All video enhancements, ad-blocking, and UI modifications are executed locally within your browser. The extension does not track your viewing history, collect personal data, or share your activity with external servers. Your YouTube experience remains entirely secure and under your control.

Permissions Used:

activeTab & tabs: Required to detect tab switches for the smart Auto-Pause feature, seamlessly manage Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, and ensure the extension only activates when you are watching a video.

scripting: Used to safely inject the custom enhancement buttons and visual layout changes (like Cinema Mode and hiding info cards) directly into the YouTube player.

storage: Saves your custom feature preferences (such as Ad-block status, Loop, and Theme mode) securely and locally on your device. No data is ever synchronized with external databases.

Host Permissions: Strictly limited to *://*.youtube.com/*, ensuring the extension only runs on YouTube and does not access other websites. It also briefly connects to the public Return YouTube Dislike API to securely fetch dislike counts.
