Radio Widget av rheysoft

Radio Widget puts a clean, persistent internet radio player into your browser's side panel. Tune in to over 35,000 stations from around the world - keep listening while you work in other tabs.

Why this one

Most browser radio extensions ask for broad permissions, send your usage to their own servers, or stop playing the moment you close the popup. Radio Widget does none of those things.

• Persistent playback: audio keeps running when the side panel or pop-up is closed
• Minimal permissions: on Firefox only storage and alarms (the Edge build adds offscreen and sidePanel for playback and the side panel) - no host access, no content scripts
• Privacy by design: your favorites, notes, settings and statistics are stored only in your browser
• Two modes: use the side panel for full usage or switch to Pop-up mode for quick controls
• Quick access Icon: quickly open or close Pop up-View or Sidepanel-View via the App-Icon

Privacy

We run no server of our own. Your search text and filters go to the Radio Browser directory, and when a station from the directory starts playing, by you or by the wake-up alarm, its station ID is reported to Radio Browser for its popularity ranking; stations you added yourself are never reported. Premium purchases are processed by Gumroad, our payment processor and license vendor, and the extension never sees your payment details. It sends your license key to Gumroad when you activate Premium and again from time to time when you open the side panel. No accounts, no ads, and the extension sets no cookies.
