Does the extension add noticeable memory/performance overhead with 15+ tabs?

Totally valid concern — nobody wants an extension that turns their browser into a space heater. 😅

Here's why Video Controls Plus stays light:

• 🪶 Activates only on video pages — the extension doesn't inject anything on tabs without HTML5 video elements

• ⚡ Minimal background processing — no persistent background scripts eating resources when you're not using it

• 📦 Manifest V3 architecture — built on the modern extension standard that enforces better resource management by design

• 🧹 Clean memory footprint — controls attach to the video element directly, not running heavy scripts on the entire page

• 🔋 CSS-based filters — visual filters use GPU-accelerated CSS, not CPU-heavy canvas manipulation

• ✅ 932 automated tests — we test not just features but also that things don't break or bloat unexpectedly

In practical terms: with 15+ tabs open, you should see no measurable difference in memory usage compared to not having the extension installed — unless a tab actually has a video you're actively controlling.

"The best extensions are like good referees — you don't notice them until you need them." ⚽
