Is YouTube Tweak - Boost Your YouTube Experience safe?

Clean risk

YouTube Tweak sends YouTube comments and captions to Google Translate for translation.

YouTube Tweak injects scripts into YouTube pages and, when translation features are enabled, collects comment text and subtitle caption text for translation. It posts those text strings to Google Translate's translateHtml API, then displays or inserts the translated result back into the page.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
