The ZIP has manifest.json at its ROOT, without an enclosing extension directory. Extract into a dedicated folder. For manual updates close Brave and replace files in the SAME existing unpacked root, preserving the existing extension entry/profile; restart, refresh YouTube and check local settings/queue. Back up old files first. Do not uninstall when retaining local data matters. No automatic updater or universal recovery guarantee is provided.

Installation, checksum, update/recovery and limits.

Author verification: static checks, 46 units, exact18member source/build/package comparison and five silent headless isolated Brave same-root update/restart/restore groups. Full selected settings/ordered queue and installed version survived with the same ID. Fresh affected UI checks used extension pages without playback; unchanged media/service evidence is reused with original dated limits. No personal-profile, store, Chrome/Edge or universal compatibility acceptance is claimed.

This is a GitHub prerelease; manifest version_name retains “0.4.9 local preview” from the frozen accepted package. Free manual unpacked installation, MIT original code; SponsorBlock data notices retain their separate license. No new permissions, backend, paid dependency or store submission.
