Is Youtube Timestamp Saver safe?
Youtube Timestamp Saver stores saved video thumbnail URLs that the options page requests from YouTube over HTTP.
When you save timestamps, the extension records the YouTube video ID, title, bookmark data, and an http://img.youtube.com/vi/{videoId}/0.jpg thumbnail URL in Chrome sync storage. When the options page shows saved bookmarks, it loads those thumbnail URLs over cleartext HTTP, revealing the saved video's thumbnail request to img.youtube.com.
