Is Video Download safe?
Video Download injects a hidden iframe to div.show on every page, plus a time-delayed variant that activates 8+ hours after install.
The extension's content script runs on all websites and contacts div.show/init by embedding a hidden 1×1 iframe. A second, nearly identical injection block fires only after 8 hours have passed since installation, a pattern consistent with evasion of sandboxed review systems. Both injections transmit the user's IP address and the current page URL to the remote host.
