Is Ad Skip for YouTube safe?

Low risk

Ad Skip for YouTube writes its extension ID and base URL into YouTube pages.

When Ad Skip for YouTube runs on YouTube, its content script adds a page element containing the extension runtime ID and extension base URL. Scripts running on matching YouTube pages can read those DOM attributes, but the confirmed evidence does not show this data being sent to any external service.
