Hi, I really like your work, exactly what is really needed without unnecessary ballast. The only comment / request is that the size of the video expands to the whole page, not just the width of the page (something like this: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/480701-youtube-fullpage-theater). Anyway, thanks again.

This addon is awesome and works. Big props to the dev. The app is the only one I found able to loop video on mobile YouTube.
However, the app is over permissive. It requests access to user information that it clearly does not need. Are you spying on people? This addon is able to "access all website information" (name of websites and all data that is sent to that site) and "access all tabs" (urls and page title on every open tab, etc).
For an app created to provide YouTube utils, this is sus.
This app from my observation can function perfectly with just the permission that allows "access to the youtube.com" domain.
Hi dev, it would be nice if this can be rectified and I'm happy to 5⭐ this addon.
