Is SwipeTube safe?
SwipeTube sends scraped YouTube ad details to api.swipetube.io after an access token is configured.
On YouTube watch pages, SwipeTube checks the page every two seconds for ad UI content after an access token is stored. It sends ad IDs, landing page links, button text, CTA text, icons, and video source details to its API with that token.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed SwipeTube 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.
