Thumbwheel is a browser extension that adds touch gestures and a fullscreen player to web video.
None. Thumbwheel does not collect, transmit, sell or share personal data or browsing data.
Your settings, including the site addresses you add as per-site rules, are saved in your browser with chrome.storage.local. They never leave your device, and removing the extension deletes them.
To work, it runs on web pages. It reads the site address to apply your per-site setting, and the page title to show it inside its own fullscreen player. This happens on your device only.
Thumbwheel makes no network requests. It has no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, no third-party services and no remote code.
storage saves your settings. activeTab lets the toolbar popup read the address of the tab you are on, to show and change that site's mode.
If this policy changes, the new version and its effective date will be posted here.
