Is Plex Download Extension safe?
Plex Download Extension can generate Plex download URLs with a page-stored access token after loose Plex URL matching.
The extension injects its content script on every page, then treats a tab as eligible when the URL contains app.plex.tv and /metadata/ anywhere in the string. When triggered, it reads Plex user and token values from that page's localStorage, queries the selected Plex server for metadata, and builds download URLs that include the Plex token.
