Is Recapio: AI Youtube Summarizer safe?

Medium risk

Recapio: AI Youtube Summarizer automatically sends YouTube watch URLs to Recapio's API for transcript/chat processing.

When you open a YouTube watch page, the extension starts its transcript/chat flow and posts the page URL to Recapio's YouTube chat API. Its auth content script can also read Recapio access tokens from recapio.com or localhost:3000 pages during the auth flow and sends them to Recapio's token verification API.
