Is Skins for YouTube player safe?
Skins for YouTube receives CSS and image URLs from youtube-skins.com and injects them into YouTube pages, with the operator able to open new tabs remotely.
The extension fetches a remote configuration from youtube-skins.com on each YouTube page load, storing server-supplied flags that can hide the extension's own UI button. It also accepts messages from youtube-skins.com that push arbitrary CSS template data and image file paths directly into YouTube pages without sanitization, and a separate message handler allows the operator to open cursor-land.com in a new tab once per browser profile.
