ABOUT SKIPVIDS.COM
SkipVids.com is a separate website that provides an alternative way to watch YouTube videos with additional playback options such as background listening, sponsor-segment skipping, and other viewing controls. The extension is simply a shortcut that sends the current video ID to SkipVids.com when you choose to click the button.
PRIVACY
This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. It operates entirely in your browser. No analytics, no tracking, no accounts required. The only network request it makes is opening a new tab to skipvids.com when you click the button.
PERMISSIONS
This extension only requires access to youtube.com pages in order to display the SkipVids buttons. No other sites are accessed.
