Is Dualsub - YouTube Subtitle Translator safe?
Dualsub sends subtitle text and a persistent install ID to api.dualsub.xyz when AI Translation is enabled.
When a user turns on the extension's built-in 'AI Translation' feature, Dualsub collects the subtitle dialogue lines from the video being watched and posts them to its own translation service, api.dualsub.xyz, along with a UUID generated once at install and stored permanently in browser storage. If the user has supplied their own API key, that is sent along too. This only happens for the optional AI translation feature; it is not triggered by normal caption display or other extension functions.

Shared hosts - 3 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.
