Is SponsorBlock for YouTube - Skip Sponsorships safe?

Clean risk

Skips sponsored segments and other marked sections in YouTube videos.

This extension modifies YouTube pages to automatically skip crowdsourced segments such as sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and non-music sections of music videos. Users can submit and vote on segment times, and the extension generates a random userID for submissions, voting, leaderboard display, and reputation.

Shared hosts - 4 hostnames

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.
