Is Volume Booster - Increase sound safe?

Low risk

Volume Booster - Increase sound injects a page-readable extension ID marker into every top-level site.

Its content script runs on all URLs and adds a div whose id contains the first five characters of the extension ID when the page is the top frame. The reviewed claim does not show this marker being sent to an outside server; it is exposed in the page DOM for site scripts to read.

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