Is Open in VLC™ safe?
Open in VLC™ sends the page or link URL you choose to a local native host to launch VLC.
When you use its context-menu item, the extension reads the selected link URL or current page URL and appends it to the configured VLC command. It passes that command to the native messaging host com.mybrowseraddon.node, which starts the local VLC process with the URL.
