Is Live Stream Downloader safe?

Clean risk

Downloads detected M3U8/HLS streams from the active tab as a single local file.

This extension detects media streams and available qualities on the active tab, then downloads selected segmented streams to the user’s disk. It merges fetched segments automatically, uses multiple threads, retries failed segment downloads, and can resume after network interruptions. It also sets the referrer header of the original page to improve download capability.
