This extension does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no tracking, and no server. Nothing ever leaves your browser.

WHAT THE EXTENSION DOES

Instagram Reels Progress Bar draws a draggable seek bar over videos on instagram.com so you can jump to any point in a video. It reads the current playback position and duration of the video element on the page in order to draw the bar, and it writes a new playback position when you drag or click it. That is the entire interaction with the page.

WHAT IS STORED

Exactly four appearance preferences, using the browser's extension storage API:

• Bar thickness — a number between 2 and 8
• Handle size — a number between 8 and 20
• Hover area height — a number between 8 and 32
• Show time label — true or false

Your browser keeps these in your own profile. If you have browser sync turned on, your browser vendor syncs them between your own devices the same way it syncs your bookmarks. They are never sent to the developer or to any third party. Uninstalling the extension removes them.

WHAT IS NOT COLLECTED

• No browsing history
• No page content, video content, captions, or usernames
• No account information or credentials
• No IP addresses, device identifiers, or location
• No analytics or usage statistics

PERMISSIONS

• storage — to remember the four appearance settings above.
• Host access to instagram.com — the extension needs to run on Instagram pages to find the video element and draw the seek bar over it. It runs on no other website.

NETWORK ACTIVITY

The extension makes no network requests of its own. It bundles no remote code and loads nothing from external servers.
