Is StreamFab Video Downloader safe?

Medium risk

StreamFab Video Downloader sends cookies from the active non-YouTube site to its native companion app.

When an authorized user browses to a non-YouTube page, the extension reads cookies for the active tab and sends them with the page URL to the StreamFab native host. Its install and startup telemetry also posts the active tab URL and stable device or account identifiers to DVDFab's API.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed StreamFab Video Downloader contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
