Is ProxTube - Unblock YouTube safe?

Low risk

ProxTube transmits a persistent UUID to its operator server on every proxy, config, and domain-list request, and reports which other extensions are installed.

On startup, ProxTube generates a persistent UUID and stores it in browser storage. This identifier is appended to all outbound requests sent to loadbalancer-api-v2.herokuapp.com, including proxy lookups, configuration fetches, and domain-list updates. The extension also calls browser.management.getAll() on startup to enumerate all installed extensions, cross-references the results against a server-supplied list, and sends a selfHosted flag back to the same server indicating whether any targeted extension was found.
