rx_settingsAND per-origin localStorage (watch progress, watch/search history, bookmarks, volume memory, rant archives). Export format:exportVersion: 2; v1 imports still work. Imports are allowlisted by key so a crafted file cannot smuggle arbitrary localStorage keys onto rumble.com. - Reset All Data broadcasts
clearLocalDatato every open Rumble tab and reports the honest "Cleared N per-site keys across M tabs" count - Settings editor modal with dirty-draft workflow: search, sidebar group nav (9 groups), chips for unsaved / needs-attention, Restore Defaults / Discard / Save toolbar, per-field Reset buttons, and non-blocking close/reset feedback
- Per-control editors infer from value type: toggle / number / text / textarea / list / JSON / enum-dropdown (theme & siteTheme)
- Focus trap, no confirmation prompts, live re-sync via
chrome.storage.onChanged - Major popup/options labels and settings groups resolve through the shipped locale catalogs with English fallbacks.

- All download URLs are validated against a host allowlist before hitting
chrome.downloads. LiveChatEnhanceuses aTreeWalkeronTextnodes only — Rumble's chat markup is never re-parsed throughinnerHTML.- Download UI is built via DOM APIs; no network-influenced text (error messages, response bodies, CDN probe results) ever reaches the HTML parser.
- Backup imports are allowlisted:
setLocalDatarejects any key outside theRX_LOCAL_STORAGE_KEYSlist +rx_rants_prefix, so a crafted file cannot write arbitrary keys to rumble.com's origin.
