- popup: lock remote-control buttons (Play/Pause/SYNC) for guests in host-only mode so clicks don't silently get gated and leave the button stuck; backstop guards in the handlers and the 2.5s safety reset respects the lock. - content: rebuild the desync dialog + resync badge with the DOM API inside a Shadow DOM. innerHTML inline style="" attributes are stripped by strict style-src CSP (Netflix/YouTube/Disney+); CSSOM .style is CSP-safe and the shadow root isolates from page CSS. - content: detect live-DVR in hcmIsLive() via a sliding seekable window (seekable.start(0) > 1), not just duration === Infinity (EC-15). Records remaining audit items (snap-back thrash, join race, dialog i18n) in the edge-case log for the device-testing pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
KoalaSync Browser Extension
A Manifest V3 Browser Extension (Chrome & Firefox) for synchronized video playback across any website.
Key Features
- Manifest V3: Optimized Service Worker architecture with session persistence.
- Pure Vanilla JS: No external dependencies or heavy libraries.
- Smart Peer IDs: Hexadecimal IDs combined with customizable Usernames for easy identification.
- On-Demand Connection: The service worker only maintains a WebSocket connection while you're in a room. No persistent background connections — privacy-first architecture. Based on
connectIntentflag that gates all reconnect attempts. - Live Diagnostics: Built-in "Dev" tab for real-time video state debugging (ReadyState, CurrentTime, etc.).
- Dynamic i18n (Multi-Language): Fully localized in 13 languages (
en,de,fr,es,it,pl,tr,nl,ja,ko,pt-BR,pt,ru) with auto-detected fallback and dynamic on-the-fly language selectors.
Tab Overview
- Room: Manage connections, view active peers, and share invitation links.
- Sync: Control video playback (Play/Pause/Force Sync) and view recent activity.
- Settings: Customize your Username, toggle domain-based Noise Filtering, and switch the App Language.
- Dev: Monitor connection status and view real-time video element metadata for debugging.
Privacy & Permissions
KoalaSync requires <all_urls> permission to detect and interact with video elements (<video>) on websites.
- No Browsing History: We do not track or store your browsing history.
- State Management: Sensitive data (Room Passwords) is stored locally using
chrome.storage. - Zero Telemetry: No analytics or external tracking scripts.
- Zero Runtime Dependencies: The extension is built with pure Vanilla JS and contains no external libraries or tracking scripts, ensuring performance and privacy.
Installation
- Prepare Extension: From the repository root, run:
npm run build:extension - Open Chrome and go to
chrome://extensions/. - Enable Developer mode (top right).

dist/chromefolder.
Development
If you modify shared/constants.js, you must synchronize the changes by running the build script from the root:
npm run build:extension
This ensures that the extension/shared folder is updated with the latest protocol constants.
