PRIVACY FIRST
VidBar stores all your settings, bookmarks, and notes locally in your browser — it never collects personal data, browsing history, or what you watch. It sends only anonymous, aggregate feature-usage stats to help improve the extension, and you can switch that off anytime from the popup.
