Platform-Specific Behavior

Mainstream Platforms (YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, Instagram, TikTok, and more!)
- Full functionality with keyboard shortcuts working everywhere
- Filter toggles work seamlessly
- Auto-filter option available

Other Platforms (iframe detection)
FilterVideo supports iframe-based websites like Alchemiya and other movie-streaming sites.
Important: Due to cross-origin security for iframe-based video streaming, there are some limitations:
- Keyboard shortcut only works when focus is outside the video frame
- To use effectively:
1. Zoom the page if needed (two-finger gesture) but don't toggle full screen
2. Click just outside the video frame to ensure the shortcut works
3. Consider using a shortcut key near your device's mute button for easier control. For example, '-' is close to the mute button on Mac.

Your Experience Matters:
- No data collection
- No external connections
- Everything happens right in your browser
- Your settings stay local

Whether you're browsing videos with family, watching content on your own, or just want more control over what you see - FilterVideo helps you create a more comfortable viewing environment with just one key press.

Usage

1. Click the FilterVideo icon in your browser toolbar
2. Use the toggle switch to enable/disable the extension
3. Choose your preferred shortcut key (default: ',')
4. Adjust filter intensity using the slider
5. Press the shortcut key while watching a video to toggle the filter

"Auto-Filter on Detection" in settings:
- Videos will automatically be filtered when detected
- Then you can toggle filter manually using the shortcut key

NEW: Arabic Keyboard Users
- No need to change your shortcut when switching between English and Arabic
- Works with both Arabic 101 (QWERTY) and Arabic 102 (AZERTY) layouts
- Example: If your shortcut is ',' (comma) in English and you use QWERTY, then switching to Arabic 101 and pressing 'ة' will also work. Similarly you use AZERTY keyboard and 'm' is your shortcut then 'ك' will also work without need to change language back and forth.
- Automatically saves your keyboard layout preference

NEW: Having Issues?
- Use the new reset shortcut key (customizable in settings)
- Instantly recover functionality without needing to open the popup and toggle off then on. Reset does that recovery with a simple key of your choice.
- Perfect for long viewing sessions or if the extension becomes unresponsive

Make every video viewing session worry-free!
