Common Questions
How do I install the SkipPlay Chrome extension?
Download the extension package, toggle "Developer mode" in chrome://extensions, and drag the folder in. A step-by-step guide is provided in our GitHub repository.
Does the extension collect my browsing history?
No. The extension operates entirely client-side and does not log, store, or transmit any of your browsing activities. Privacy is a core design principle.
What is the difference between manual paste and the extension?
Manual paste requires you to copy a YouTube URL and paste it into SkipPlay. The extension does this automatically — any YouTube video link you click opens directly in SkipPlay.

Yes. The extension supports standard video watch links, playlist URLs, and live stream links, redirecting them all to the corresponding SkipPlay player.
