Is Video Downloader safe?

Clean risk

Video Downloader records detected media URLs and page-derived titles from every matched page.

It runs content scripts across all URLs and all frames, scans pages and media-related network activity, and stores detected media URLs with titles, thumbnails, timestamps, request method, and tab context in the extension background state. The available claim does not identify any external server receiving this data.
