Why no Chrome extension is needed

Many TikTok downloader Chrome extensions exist, but they come with downsides:

Permissions - extensions often ask to read your browsing history, access all websites, and modify data on pages. TikItDown requires none of that.
Performance - extensions run in the background on every page load, slowing down your browser. TikItDown only runs when you visit the site.
Updates - extensions frequently break when Chrome updates. TikItDown is a website - it always works.
Privacy - some extensions collect and sell your browsing data. TikItDown has no access to your browser data.
