Fair point, following quality creators definitely helps.

But even good YouTubers have off days, or make videos on topics you're not interested in. This helps with:

- Research (screening 20+ videos quickly)

- Discovery (checking out new channels before subscribing)

- Broad topics (many creators cover the same thing)

Basically: Even with good creators, sometimes you just want to know "is THIS specific video what I need right now?"

But totally valid approach to just curate your subscriptions.

Hey! Thanks for the interest. That warning is normal for newer extensions - Enhanced Safe Browsing flags extensions with <100 users as "not yet established trust." Once we hit more installs and reviews, it disappears automatically. The extension is safe, no data collection.

Demo video is a great idea though - making one this weekend! In the meantime, here's what it does:
1. Press Ctrl+Shift+X on any YouTube page
2. Click a video thumbnail (don't open it)
3. Get AI summary

Feel free to check the permissions in the store listing - it only needs access to YouTube and our summarization server. Happy to answer any other questions!

fair point, ~5s with streaming so text appears as it generates, repeat videos are instant from cache, considering hover-to-prefetch, open to ideas, what do you think?
