Requirement:
A video card with a score of at least 1000 points in the PassMark G3D Mark benchmark is recommended.
Check your video card's score here: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php
With a score lower than 1000 the extension will still work but it is likely that the YouTube video page will be slow and/or stuttering.

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. For more information about Do Not Track visit https://allaboutdnt.com
