does cast kodi modify the web page when it's not being used? #45

from a privacy/anti-fingerprinting POV, i'm wondering if the add-on can be detected by a site when it's not being used - does it modify the page in any way?

i tried to determine this using the console and i'm not seeing any difference whether it's enabled or disabled, but i'd like confirmation

Cast Kodi never modifies web pages. When you don't use Cast Kodi, it doesn't do anything. And when you cast a video/music, it sends AJAX requests to retrieve the URL of the video/music in the page.
