fadee

Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-05-26

fadee is a Chrome extension that hides watched videos on YouTube channel pages.

What data fadee handles

• Watched-video IDs. When you mark a video as watched, fadee stores its YouTube video ID locally via chrome.storage.sync. Because chrome.storage.sync is provided by Chrome itself, those IDs are synchronized across the Chrome instances signed in to your own Google account, by Chrome — not by fadee. fadee never sends them anywhere else.
• Local UI preferences. Small extension settings (e.g. toolbar toggles) are stored in the same chrome.storage area.

What data fadee does NOT handle

• No personally identifiable information.
• No browsing history beyond the per-video watched markers above.
• No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting.
• No third-party trackers or SDKs.

Network requests

fadee makes no network requests of its own. All operation is local to your browser.

Permission rationale

• storage — persist the set of watched-video IDs and small UI preferences across sessions and devices via chrome.storage.sync.
• offscreen — host a hidden document that reports the OS color-scheme preference (matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)")) to the service worker, so the toolbar icon can follow your system dark/light mode setting.
• host_permissions: https://www.youtube.com/* — required to read the channel-page DOM and hide watched videos.
