Is YouTube Comment Search safe?

Medium risk

YouTube Comment Search sends YouTube video and search request details to a hosted YouTube proxy API.

When opened on a YouTube watch page, the extension requests video data through youtube-proxy-service.onrender.com and includes a bundled API key on each request. Searching comments sends the search terms and the current video or channel identifier to that same proxy service.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed YouTube Comment Search 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.
