Is YouTube Video Downloader safe?

Low risk

YouTube Video Downloader removes CSP and X-Frame-Options protections from pages and embedded frames.

When Firefox receives a main page or iframe response, the extension removes Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers for all HTTP and HTTPS URLs. This changes browser-enforced framing and content restrictions across sites; the confirmed claim does not identify any outside recipient receiving user data.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Shared hosts - 2 hostnames

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.
