Is asbplayer: Language-learning with subtitles safe?

Clean risk

asbplayer is a language-learning tool that overlays subtitles on streaming video and integrates with Anki for vocabulary capture.

The extension injects subtitle controls into supported streaming sites (Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Amazon Prime, and others) and lets users mine vocabulary directly into Anki flashcard decks. On startup it fetches a configuration file from app.asbplayer.dev to locate language pack download URLs; the fetched data is stored locally and no code is executed from it.

Shared hosts - 2 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.
