Is Vimeo Video Downloader safe?

Medium risk

Vimeo Video Downloader sends embedding-site cookies to Vimeo when fetching embedded video config data.

When you start a download from an embedded Vimeo player, the extension can read cookies for the page hosting the embed and combine them with Vimeo cookies. It then adds those cookies, along with the page URL as referrer/origin context, to a Vimeo player config request.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Vimeo Video Downloader 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.

  • player.vimeo.com

    Vimeo Video Downloader sends data to player.vimeo.com. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
