Is SummarizeYT - YouTube Summary with ChatGPT safe?
SummarizeYT sends YouTube transcripts, video titles, and a persistent IP-based browser identifier to its summary API.
When you request a summary, SummarizeYT sends the selected YouTube transcript chunks and video title with a user ID built from your IP address and a FingerprintJS visitor ID. The extension also calls api.ipify.org to read your public IP address and stores the resulting identifier in Chrome sync storage.
