Is Get YouTube Transcript by CakeAI - Free safe?

Low risk

Get YouTube Transcript by CakeAI sends YouTube transcript contents and video metadata to cacheyoutubetranscript.totext.xyz.

When an active YouTube watch page finishes loading, the extension injects a content script that reads the video ID, title, channel, caption track, and transcript text. It sends that transcript data as JSON to cacheyoutubetranscript.totext.xyz while preparing the transcript for download.
