Is YouTube Detoxifier: Delay Shorts & Hide Recommendations safe?
YouTube Detoxifier sends anonymous click analytics to its Azure-hosted server when timers or settings are used.
The extension fetches and stores an anonymous user number from its server, then uses it for click analytics. When a user proceeds past a timer or opens the settings page from YouTube, it posts the user number and a click type such as proceed_clicks or settings_click to the server.
