Is Autoskip for Youtube safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Autoskip for Youtube is high risk. Every time your browser starts, this extension contacts the developer's server to download a list of websites. This list determines which sites are watched during your browsing session. The developer can update this list at any time without releasing a new extension version, meaning the set of sites under observation can change automatically. When you install this extension, it generates a random ID that is permanently tied to your browser and immediately sends it to the developer's server at backend.ytadblock.com. This ID persists across browser restarts and is resent on every extension update, allowing the developer to track your device over time without your knowledge or consent.
