How It Works
One Add-On, Three Working Layers
On supported pages, the add-on checks your saved setup, enables only relevant features, and keeps the experience aligned as the page updates.
Layer 1: Startup and safety checks
Feature preferences are saved locally from the Control Panel. At runtime, each feature is validated against eligibility rules before activation, and non-eligible features remain off.
Layer 2: Live page synchronization
Active features continuously sync with the current page state, so behavior stays aligned as content updates, media changes, or navigation context shifts.
Layer 3: In-place feature delivery
Enhancements are attached beside existing controls and can be toggled off without replacing core website components, preserving the native flow while extending capability.
Control Panel
Understand and Control Every Feature
The Control Panel is the add-on's popup dashboard, designed to manage feature behavior across all supported websites from one place.
Features are grouped by category, each with its own ON/OFF toggle and expandable details for descriptions, instructions, and notes.
Availability is context-aware. You can change eligible features individually, while unsupported features are shown as N/A in the current environment.
Your settings are saved locally, and a reload action lets you apply updated feature states to the current page right away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Scope, Lifecycle, and Controls
Use this FAQ to understand what the add-on is, what it is not, and how feature behavior is maintained as official websites evolve.
Add-on features are temporary and may be phased out as official websites introduce equivalent functionality.
The add-on continues to receive updates for compatibility and maintenance while needed, and its feature set may decrease over time as overlap is removed.
As official websites expand, the add-on is expected to shrink in scope and eventually retire once its supplemental purpose is complete.
