Is RYS — Remove YouTube Suggestions safe?
RYS exposes the MD5 hash of its settings-lock password to YouTube pages as a DOM attribute.
When a user enables the premium password setting, the extension stores an unsalted MD5 hash and writes settings onto the YouTube page's document element. That makes the hashed_password value readable by YouTube page JavaScript on youtube.com and m.youtube.com, but it is not the cleartext password.
