Is YouTube Ad Skipper safe?

Low risk

YouTube Ad Skipper stores ad-skip and hidden-banner counters in YouTube page localStorage.

YouTube Ad Skipper runs on YouTube pages, clicks detected ad skip buttons, hides several ad containers, and records counters named YAS_button_counter and YAS_banner_counter. Because the counters are written to page localStorage, YouTube page scripts can read those stored values.
