Only thing I would improve on this page is to remove all remote dependencies, youtube, font, cdn files ... sw.js consonantly sending some data. Personally I do not trust Google they have way to more data, and even if all scripts are stripped questions is does Chrome collecting data as well?

I'm the author. No data is sent after dependencies have loaded. The "init()" function in the page runs right after. So you can use the Network debugger to see that nothing is sent anywhere.

I just don't think an ugly page can be useful for the layman. It has to be a nice and user friendly page, which means it would have a lot of design loaded as well. Use the "_bare" page if you want to customize it for your needs.

You are right about YouTube embed. The sw.js is sending stuff, and I don't want that. I'm going to put the YouTube into an overlay, and will remove it from DOM after it's watched. EDIT: it's done.
So, yeah I was right only not sure why did I got so many negative points, for stating obvious truth ?! :D
That's totally normal here. You also get downvotes for talking about it, like we both are now.
