Privacy First, nothing fishy:
• No data collection
• No tracking
• Works entirely locally on your device
• Minimal permissions (only YouTube access and settings storage)
• This is just barebones JavaScript to detect elements and some CSS to apply visual changes.
• The extension calculates your "time saved" stats locally on your device to show your progress. This data never leaves your browser and can be disabled in the menu.
• Open source code available for review

Open Source & Community-Driven:
• LockedIn is 100% free and open-source. The code is public for anyone to review.
• Why open-source? YouTube's layout changes constantly. This means a new update can sometimes temporarily break a feature for some users.
• You can help! Because LockedIn is open-source, we can adapt together. You are encouraged to report bugs or even contribute fixes on our GitHub to keep the extension strong for everyone.
