用本地端解碼，實在是太優秀了

5 stars to balance everyone else out. at least their engineers provided a solution so we don't pay licensing fees which would lower the quality of the hardware we buy. most synology users would rather pay for Top Quality Hardware and Forever Software than have our purchase payments go to licenses for everyone who is a heavy photo user. I agree, they need to make this more streamlined such that the privacy of the extension is not needing to "see all websites all data" which is creepy. Just let us select which URLs it can access (photos). No need for unnecessary permissions, we trust you synology but why ask for stuff you don't need to know?
