Is Scratch Downloader safe?

Low risk

Scratch Downloader records a page canvas in the active HTTPS tab and saves the video locally when the user starts recording.

When the user clicks Start Recording, Scratch Downloader injects a script into the active tab, finds the page's first canvas element, and records its video stream for the requested duration. The recording is turned into a local WebM download named video.webm; the reviewed source does not show the recording being sent to a remote server.
