Is Selectext: Copy Text from Videos safe?
Selectext: Copy Text from Videos sends the current page URL to embedded frames and lets page messages write clipboard content.
Its content script runs on all sites and listens for messages from iframes without checking the sender's origin. Those messages can make the top page send its full URL back to a matching iframe, or write caller-supplied text or PNG image data to the browser clipboard.
