Is YouTube Tags safe?

Medium risk

YouTube Tags sends YouTube watch-page video IDs to Google Analytics with a persistent extension UUID.

On YouTube watch pages, the extension reads the video ID from the page URL while fetching and displaying that video's tags. It sends Google Analytics events for tag loading and tag interactions that include the video ID, along with a persistent extension UUID and user properties such as extension version, language, and country.
