The short version

Stream for YouTube collects nothing. It has no server, no analytics and no account. Everything it does happens inside your browser, on youtube.com.

What the extension does

• It runs only on www.youtube.com and rearranges what YouTube already shows you.
• To fill its shelves it loads YouTube's own pages (home, subscriptions, history, Watch later, search) from your browser, exactly as if you had opened them. Those requests go to YouTube and nowhere else.
• It keeps a short-lived copy of those lists in the tab's session storage so pages open quickly. That copy is cleared when the tab closes.

What it stores

Only your settings: the switches in the popup and your list of shelf topics. They are saved with Chrome's storage and, if you use Chrome sync, synced between your own browsers by Google. The developer never receives them.

What it does not do

• It does not collect, transmit or sell personal data.
• It does not read your Google account, password or payment details.
• It does not load remote code or contact any third-party service.

Permissions

storage — to remember your settings. Access to www.youtube.com — to restyle the page and add the player controls.
