Is YouTube Popout Player safe?

Clean risk

Opens YouTube videos and playlists in a resizable popout player window.

This extension lets you open YouTube videos, including embedded videos on other websites, in a separate popout window that you can position and resize. You can use a video control icon, right-click menu options, or a keyboard shortcut to open videos or YouTube playlist links in the popout player.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
