About this extension
<h2>Tired of YouTube's default homepage layout? YT-XL gives you control!</h2>

<p>This simple extension lets you customize the visual layout of YouTube for a cleaner or denser browsing experience, focusing on user enhancement without compromising your privacy.</p>

<h3>Homepage Customization:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Easily adjust the number of video thumbnails displayed per row on your YouTube homepage and subscription feed.</li>
<li>Choose between 3 and 10 thumbnails per row using a simple slider in the extension popup.</li>
<li>Creates a grid layout that better suits your screen size and viewing preference.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Watch Page Enhancements:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Includes CSS tweaks for the video watch page that provide a cleaner viewing experience.</li>
<li>Automatically hides the top header until you hover near the top of the page.</li>
<li>Subtly adjusts player controls for a less intrusive feel when viewing videos.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Simple, Local, and Private:</h3>
<ul>
<li><b>Works Entirely Locally:</b> All CSS modifications happen directly in your browser. No external servers are contacted.</li>
<li><b>No Data Collection:</b> Absolutely no user data, browsing history, or personal information is collected, stored (beyond your chosen setting), or transmitted.</li>
<li><b>Lightweight:</b> Uses simple CSS injection – no heavy background scripts impacting performance. Your thumbnail count preference is the only setting saved using the browser's standard storage.</li>
</ul>

<h3>How to Use:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Install the extension.</li>
<li>Click the YT-XL icon in your toolbar.</li>
<li>Use the slider to select your desired number of thumbnails per row (3-10).</li>
<li>The YouTube homepage/feed will update automatically (or upon refresh/navigation).</li>
<li>Watch page enhancements are applied automatically whenever you view a video page.</li>
</ol>

This extension operates entirely locally within your browser. It does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data or browsing activity whatsoever.

All CSS modifications happen directly in your browser based on your settings and the bundled CSS file. No internet connection (beyond the browser's own sync mechanism if used) is required or utilized by the extension for its core functionality.

The only data saved is your preferred thumbnail count setting for the YouTube homepage layout. This setting is stored using the browser's standard storage.sync API, which means the setting might sync across your devices if you are logged into Firefox Sync, but the extension itself does not send this data to any external servers or third parties.
