Is Youtube Party safe?
Youtube Party opens a Socket.IO connection to redirect.youtubeparty.com on YouTube page loads.
When a YouTube page loads, the extension's content script creates a Socket.IO connection to redirect.youtubeparty.com before any popup interaction. The connection is used by the party and chat feature and exposes network connection metadata such as the user's IP address to that host.
