Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension works entirely locally within the browser. It uses chrome.storage.sync for local preferences (enabled state, timer) and content scripts to modify YouTube DOM. There is no authentication flow, no login UI, no calls to external auth services, and no requirement for a YouTube account to use the blocking functionality. The extension operates on any YouTube page regardless of login status.
