🧠 HOW IT WORKS
EduGuard evaluates content using:

🔒 PRIVACY
EduGuard does NOT collect any personal data.
All filtering occurs locally in your browser.
If AI mode is enabled, only video title/description text is sent—never user info,
cookies, identity, or browsing history.

📌 KNOWN ISSUES (v1.0)
• Some dynamic elements may require 1–2 seconds to update.
• SPA navigation may occasionally delay filtering.
• Some layout changes by YouTube may temporarily bypass filtering.

All issues will be improved in upcoming updates.
