Is BlockTube safe?
BlockTube posts stored YouTube blocking rules into the YouTube page context on matched navigations.
When BlockTube is enabled and a YouTube or mobile YouTube page loads, it posts its compiled storage data into the page via a window message. The payload can include saved video, channel, title, comment, JavaScript, video length, and option filters, so scripts running in that page context can read the user's blocking rules.
