Is Easy Video Downloader (Flash and Video) safe?
Easy Video Downloader fetches a native client binary from GitHub and optionally passes tab cookies to a local native messaging process.
When a user initiates native-client setup, the extension queries the GitHub Releases API to find the latest binary for the user's OS and downloads it without verifying a checksum or signature. If the optional cookies preference is enabled, the extension also reads all cookies for the active tab's URL and forwards them to a locally installed native Node.js process (com.add0n.node) to support authenticated downloads via wget.
