Is Red Messenger for Youtube safe?
Red Messenger for Youtube shows its first remote toast on youtube.com without the sanitizer it applies to every later one.
The extension fetches promotional and news messages from its own server at jitt.wwevents.fun and displays them as toast popups on youtube.com pages. The developer runs each subsequent message through the DOMPurify sanitizer before inserting it into the page, but the very first message a user sees skips that step and is inserted as raw HTML. If that first server-supplied message ever contained an HTML event-handler attribute, it would execute as page-context JavaScript on youtube.com.

Same store account
17 other listings published from this account, 97k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
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.
