Is DVDFab Downloader safe?
DVDFab Downloader detects media on pages and passes selected video links to the local DVDFab app.
The extension watches web requests in your browser to list video and audio files found on the pages you visit. When you confirm a download in its dialog, it sends the media URL, title and thumbnail to the locally installed DVDFab Downloader application through native messaging. The page data is checked locally and the code shows no transmission to remote servers.
