Is Adblock for Youtube™ safe?
Adblock for Youtube™ fetches vendor-controlled rules and injects them into YouTube pages.
On startup, the extension requests scriptlet, CSS, and network-rule settings from api.adblock-for-youtube.com. When you open or navigate YouTube pages, it uses those stored rules to inject scriptlets and CSS into the page so ads can be blocked.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 3 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
