Is YouTube Shopping safe?
YouTube Shopping reads the active tab's URL and title and forwards them to an embedded studio.youtube.com iframe when the popup opens.
When a creator opens the popup, the extension queries the active tab for its URL and page title and passes both to a YouTube Studio shopping iframe via a postMessage channel. The iframe origin is validated against https://studio.youtube.com before any data is sent. No other data collection or network requests are present in the extension.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed YouTube Shopping 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.
