The extension will only activate the ambient light effect on YouTube's /watch page The only requests being sent are crash reports. (But crash reports can be turned off.) No other requests are sent to any webserver, website or api. But in case a crash occurs the report is sent to Sentry.io and will always be deleted after 30 days. Because the only goal of these crash reports is to fix the crash. While doing so we also take into account your Do Not Track preference.

The extension messes up the colors of any video I'm watching. Are there any settings that can prevent this? Edit: Thanks for responding, Wessel! It was clashing with the BetterTwitchTV extension. Not sure how but I've disabled that one. Thanks for the help. I can't use YT without this extension on my OLED monitor. Edit: I spoke too soon. The issues have continued. I've disabled all my other extensions yet the issues persist.
