Is YouTube Downloader safe?
YouTube Downloader removes page security headers from every main-frame and sub-frame navigation.
YouTube Downloader registers a blocking web request handler for all sites and removes X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy response headers as pages and iframes load. This can change how visited pages are allowed to embed or restrict content, but the confirmed code does not show this header modification being sent to an external recipient.
