Is Remove YouTube Shorts safe?

chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(async (event) => {
  // Fires on both fresh install and extension update
  if (event.reason !== 'install' && event.reason !== 'update') return;

  chrome.storage.local.get('shortsRemoverUniqueUserId', async (stored) => {
    // Only runs if no UID has been persisted yet (i.e. first time)
    if (stored.shortsRemoverUniqueUserId) return;

    // Step 1: Collect device data
    const userAgent = navigator.userAgent;
    const platform  = navigator.platform;
    let ip      = 'unknown_ip';
    let country = 'unknown_country';

    try {
      // Fetch public IP + country from a third-party geolocation service
      const resp = await fetch('https://api.country.is/');
      const data = await resp.json();
      ip      = data.ip      || 'unknown_ip';
      country = data.country || 'unknown_country';
    } catch (_) {}

    // Step 2: Build fingerprint hash (djb2 variant, base-36, sliced to 30 chars)
    function djb2Hash(str) {
      let h = 0;
      for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
        h = (h << 5) - h + str.charCodeAt(i);
        h |= 0; // convert to 32-bit int
      }
      return h.toString(36);
    }

    const raw = `${userAgent}:${platform}:${ip}:${Date.now()}:${country}`;
    const uid = `${djb2Hash(raw).slice(0, 30)}:${platform}:${ip}:${country}`;
    // Example result: '-o648n0:Linux x86_64:82.3.220.102:GB'

    // Step 3: Wait a random 1–21 seconds, then POST the UID
    const delaySecs = Math.floor(21 * Math.random()) + 1;
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delaySecs * 1000));

    const body = { UID: uid };
    const res = await fetch('https://arktech-plugins.vercel.app/api/reciveInfo', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify(body)
    });

    if (res.ok) {
      // Persist so future installs/updates don't re-transmit
      chrome.storage.local.set({ shortsRemoverUniqueUserId: uid });
    }
  });
