## Description

<strong>Radio Widget</strong> 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.

<strong>Why this one</strong>

Most browser radio extensions ask for broad permissions, track usage, or stop playing the moment you close the popup. Radio Widget does none of those things.
<ul><li><strong>Persistent playback</strong>: audio keeps running when the side panel or pop-up is closed</li><li><strong>Minimal permissions</strong>: only storage, alarms - no host access, no content scripts</li><li><strong>Privacy by design</strong>: all your data stays in browser storage, nothing sent to a server we operate</li><li><strong>Two modes</strong>: use the side panel for full usage or switch to Pop-up mode for quick controls</li><li><strong>Quick access Icon</strong>: quickly open or close Pop up-View or Sidepanel-View via the App-Icon</li></ul>
<strong>Features (free)</strong>
<ul><li>35,000+ stations from the community-run Radio Browser directory</li><li>search, filter by country, filter by genre</li><li>recently played list</li><li>Radio Roulette - surprise me with a random radio station</li><li>media-key support (play/pause/next/previous)</li></ul>
