Is Free YouTube Video Downloader safe?

Low risk

Free YouTube Video Downloader sends entered video IDs to Google's API and opens a fixed third-party download page.

When a user enters a YouTube URL and clicks Download Now, the popup requests video metadata from Google's YouTube Data API using the video ID. Its download server buttons ignore the selected video and quality, then open a fixed URL on furyprosecutionkitchen.com instead.
