Is YouTube Download safe?

Low risk

YouTube Download sends supported media page URLs and a persistent extension identifier to unidlapi.ru.

When YouTube Download recognizes a supported YouTube, Instagram, or OK media page, it sends analytics events that include the current page URL and a stored extension identifier. These events are posted through the extension background script to unidlapi.ru/stat/ when the widget loads or related download actions occur.

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

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed YouTube Download 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.
