Is Controls for Youtube safe?
Controls for Youtube accepts page messages for playback controls and can include stored usage stats in its uninstall survey.
Its all-URLs content scripts listen for window messages marked `yts`, allowing pages to request YouTube seek, play, pause, or mute actions and to add usage-stat keys to extension local storage. The background script merges those stored usage stats into the uninstall survey URL for `rehfeld.us` when Chrome sets the extension's uninstall URL.
