Is Annotations Restored for YouTube™ safe?

Clean risk

Annotations Restored for YouTube sends each YouTube video ID it opens to a Google Cloud Storage annotation bucket.

When a YouTube watch page finishes loading, the extension reads the current video's 11-character ID from the page URL. It uses that ID to fetch a matching annotation XML file from a Google Cloud Storage bucket, then caches and renders the returned annotations in the page.
