Is Video Downloader Unlimited safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Video Downloader Unlimited is critical risk. Every time you navigate to a page, Video Downloader Unlimited records the URL you visited, the URL you came from, your browser's HTTP response metadata, whether the tab was in the foreground, and a persistent UUID assigned to your install. The extension assembles these fields into a JSON record, encrypts it with a hardcoded AES-GCM key, and sends it as a POST to loader-unlim.com/api/collect.php — at most once every ten seconds. Our dynamic analysis captured two such requests. Decrypting the payload with the key embedded in the extension's source code revealed the full record, including the target URL and the persistent user UUID.
