    I don't understand why the Chrome store says that your extension collects the following data - this seems like it would be a security problem to anyone using your app?

    Authentication information

    For example: passwords, credentials, security question, or personal identification number (PIN)

    OP here.

    Why I built this: I often encounter a youtube video that gatekeeps info till the end, but I am unsure if the watch is worth the time spend. So I built this that transcribes then extracts key points from a video so I can make a more informed decision about the watch, and save a summary for future reference.

      It's a good idea. Also just getting the top few comments of a video grants ketchup without any inference.

      Have you seen DeepMark... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49288896 ?

      Looks well done - people may bookmark vids and want to use all their YT bookmarks as a source for the sauce. Get all the reading done in one shot.

      Lastly, could a bookmarklet prompt an AI to summarize a video by pre-filling a prompt? I suppose that's what is being done here, but via hover windows.
