Or doing bad things behind your&nbsp;back. Turn Off the Lights is an <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/turnoffthelights\/Turn-Off-the-Lights-Chrome-extension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Open Source&nbsp;<\/em>browser extension<\/a> and we&nbsp;do not add any ads, flashing elements, crypto mining script, or other malware to your web browser (Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, Firefox, Maxthon, Microsoft Edge, etc). Also, we <strong>do not collect small amounts<\/strong> of anonymous data for research purposes to send it back to his server. And&nbsp;we <strong>do not scan the user\u2019s whole browsing activity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"manifest-v-3-technology\">Manifest V3 technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are companies outside that email us many times to add a special script inside for data research. I can not accept these bad practices. I quote from a bad company that said this &#8220;<em>research script is compatible with Chrome Web Store policy and with Manifest V3<\/em>&#8220;. That is not true! It is a shame that this company lies to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no 3rd party research script inside the Turn Off the Lights browser extension. Because Manifest V3 does not allow extern script files. And we have no interest in that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.chrome.com\/blog\/more-mv2-transition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new Manifest V3 will be the default standard for browser extensions on 1 January 2023<\/a>. The user will have more control over permissions, adding stricter protocols for accessing resources outside the extension\u2019s context, and ensuring that extensions work well on all devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"quote-from-the-lead-developer-stefan\">Quote from the lead developer Stefan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Privacy is very important for me and also for my users.
