Background Music Remover ("the extension") is a Chrome extension that removes background music from tab audio in real time while preserving speech.
The extension does not collect, store, transmit, or share any audio, personal information, or browsing data. All audio processing happens entirely on your device, inside the browser, using a locally bundled AI model. No audio or data of any kind is sent to any server, and the extension has no backend.
tabCapture — captures the audio of the tab you choose to clean, so it can be processed locally. Audio is processed in memory and never saved to disk or transmitted anywhere.
offscreen — runs the on-device audio processing pipeline in a hidden document, required by Chrome's Manifest V3 architecture for audio/media work outside the visible page.
activeTab — lets the extension act on the tab you're currently viewing when you turn cleaning on or off, whether through the extension's popup or the small on-page toggle switch it shows near a video.
storage — stores only your own extension settings (such as on/off state and cleaning intensity) locally in your browser, using Chrome's session storage. This data never leaves your device.
The extension runs a small script on web pages to display an on/off toggle switch near a page's video player, so you can turn background-music removal on or off without opening the popup. This script only reads the on-screen position and size of <video>elements to place the toggle correctly, and sends a start/stop signal to the extension when you click it. It does not read, collect, or transmit any other page content, text, or media.
The extension does not share any data with third parties, because it does not collect or transmit any data in the first place.
The extension does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect information at all.
