This is brilliant, thanks for making this. I am currently trying it out on Chrome and I can feel the difference. Any future plans of bringing this to the mac? I recently made an app[1] in the similar space for mac and I would love to collaborate to bring this to the mac if you'd be interested. BTW, all the links in your footer except privacy policy are 404s [1] https://lookaway.app

#34> The participants were asked to watch binocularly a movie on a large TV screen (65 inches, LG OLED65C9, 4 K, 2019) at 2 m distance in a dark room. > With a video format of 1280 × 720 pixels
So you have to work in pitch dark room for this approach to reproduce, no thanks.

Nah, virustotal does that stuff all the time. Two detections is low out of all the malware scanners it used. I usually just use malwarebytes.
However, I have password managers, access banking websites, etc so I’m cautious of exes from smaller developers.
I wasn’t able to easily find the real identity of OP but the binary is code signed by a registered company it seems.

The software author should take a look if this is the case, for to change the packager's configuration (no encryption [if some algorithms in the programs are important, to protect them with through implementation, not packager ], or if the binary is small to not compress, or to adjust other params, etc), or to change of packager, or to contact with the antivirus company.
