Is Video Speed Controller safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Video Speed Controller is high risk. Each time the extension's service worker starts, it contacts the extension's backend server and downloads a list of website domains to monitor. This list, stored locally, controls which sites will have their page URLs tracked and sent to the server. Because the list is fetched remotely, the set of monitored sites can be expanded at any time without requiring an extension update or any user notification. The extension generates a random identifier the first time it is installed and saves it permanently in your browser. On both install and update, it sends this identifier to the extension's backend server at backend.videospeeder.com. The identifier persists across browser restarts and browser-profile syncing, allowing the server to recognize your browser across time.
