Is Savefrom YouTube Downloader safe?

Clean risk

Savefrom YouTube Downloader sends the current YouTube video URL to loader.to when a user chooses a download format.

It injects a download button and format menu on YouTube pages. The menu opens loader.to in a new tab with the current watch page URL in the link parameter, so the selected YouTube URL is sent to that service.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

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.
