Is Sprint — YouTube Speed Booster safe?
Sprint - YouTube Speed Booster routes configured YouTube media domains through Sprint proxy servers.
When it starts or connects, the extension fetches proxy connection details from speedyext.ru and applies browser proxy settings for YouTube-related domains such as youtube.com, googlevideo.com, ytimg.com, and youtu.be. Matching YouTube requests are sent through the returned proxy host and port, so YouTube URLs and request headers can pass through Sprint's proxy path.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 3 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.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 2.0.7. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
